New Delhi, July 5
Bearing out the version of Gujarat Police, American-born Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist David Headley has claimed before NIA sleuths that Ishrat Jahan, a Mumbai girl killed in a police encounter in Ahmedabad, was a suicide bomber of the outfit.
Official sources said Headley shared this information with the four-member team comprising officials from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Law Department during their visit to Chicago in the USA.
The girl, whose death had sparked a major controversy, was alleged to be a member of Lashkar’s suicide squad who had been inducted by top LeT operative Muzamil.
Headley’s information corroborates the stand of the Gujarat Police and the Centre.
