Pakistani-American LeT operative David Headley wanted to fight actively in Kashmir against the Indian Army but
LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi stopped him, saying something more‘adventurous' was in store for him.
He also said that after Pakistan government started investigating the 26/11 attacks, he was told by his handler, Sajid Mir of LeT,
that“both Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi and Hafiz Saeed are safe and nothing will happen against them.”.
Reports have suggested that NIA investigators initially said that Headley
had disclosed that LeT commander Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi had told Headley in 2005 of a terror
operation that had failed in India as Ishrat and those assigned for it with her had died.
At a meeting of the UN Sanctions Committee last month, India had
sought action against Pakistan for release of LeT operations commander Lakhvi in the 26/11 trial in violation of a UN resolution
but the Chinese representatives blocked the move on grounds that New Delhi did not provide sufficient information.
