New Delhi, December 11, 2009
The United States today said that it was too premature to talk about the extradition of Pakistani-origin American David Coleman Headley, charged with criminal conspiracy in the 26/11 terror attacks, to India.
Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, Mr. P J Crowley was responding to a question about the statement of Indian Home Secretary G K Pillai in New Delhi that India would seek extradition of Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Headley, who was arrested by FBI in October on charges of plotting terrorist attacks in India and Denmark.
Early this week, FBI formally charge sheeted Headley for being allegedly involved in the Mumbai terrorist attack.
In New Delhi, Union Home Secretary Pillai told reporters that once India completes its probe into Headley's links with the Mumbai terror attacks, the government will seek his extradition.
Do you think that in today's highly fractured and competitive politics the Parliament will, in near future, be able to function properly and constructively?
