    • Agencies Tags : FBI, Rahul, Lashkar e Toiba, David Coleman Headley Posted: Thursday , Oct 29, 2009 at 0846 hrs Washington:

    A mysterious ‘Rahul’ appears to have been the prime target of Chicago resident David Coleman Headley, nabbed by the FBI for planning to carry out a major terror attack in India this month at the behest of Pakistan-based LeT.

    Headley, arrested earlier this month, had made several trips to India and intended to stay in the country for some time to execute the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) plans, according to US investigators.

    According to an affidavit filed by FBI in a Chicago court, Headley in an e-mail on July 8 to a senior LeT leader, who has been identified as ‘LeT individual A’, said: “I think when we get a chance we should revisit our last location again and say Hi to Rahul”.

    Headley has stated that the reference was to “Rahul”, a prominent Indian actor, the FBI said in its complaint.

    Intelligence sources in New Delhi discounted speculation that the reference could have been to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. In such cases, US security agencies immediately alert their Indian counterparts and there had been no such alert, the sources said.

    but what made David Coleman Headley act against India?By: Umesh | 29-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Yes, the most important question is what made this David wage a war against India? Why a US citizen turning against India? And how come the LeT got him into their clutches? And still pakistan claims that only taliban
    RahulBy: Rajan | 29-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward There is no body called Rahul Gandhi. There only an Italian called Raul Vinci enjoying India for free.
    What is Rahul's faultBy: Raj | 29-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward I can't understand why we Indians always berate Sonia and her family. What is her fault. What is Rahul's fault. I am no blind supporter of Congress. Indira Gandhi was the one who destroyed the institutions of India. She was a dictator, all right. But considering the present lot, Rahul is a far better choice. He is a mature person. He was the one who openly admired Advani immediately election victory and paid tributes to him. Advaniji also is one of the very few genuine persons amongst the politicians, whatever he might have said during elections. Compare the Rahul and Advaniji to other options we have. How many can you find matching the personal integrity of these two. In a democracy, difference are bound to exist and to some extent they are essential but within a dignified limit. You can differ with Advaniji or Rahul but please avoid cheap comments. Italians serving India and calling India their country are much better that "Pure" Indians who are sucking the country. Rahul, incidentally, cannot be called Italian. He is more Indian than 99% bureaucrats who serve nobody except themselves. We have no objection to Bobby Jindal becoming Governor in US. So many Indians have risen in UK, Fiji, Mauritius, Trinidad etc. yet we don't tolerate non-marathis in Mumbai (I didn't say Bombay), but we miss no opportunity to berate Sonia's Italian birth as if Sushma Swaraj has a special right to Indianhood.
    ThanksBy: Debangshu Mukherjee | 29-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Thank you Raj, amidst all this name-calling and mus-slinging that we mostly resort to in the comments section, your statesman-like reply came almost like like a breath of fresh air
    Organized foolsBy: Indian | 29-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Raj,Do not bother yourself with them. They are organized fools brainwashed into following an agenda. You can find such fools in every part of the globe. Just ignore them.
    RahulBy: abraham | 29-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Yes, I don't understand how do they enjoying Sonia Ghandi or Rahul.We have some adamant fools in India they know only to critisise than be constructive. They have no thinking capacity and are brain washed by some cunning politicians. I feel cent percent sure if we were still under British India would have been much a progressed country. So fools at least wake up soon than never.
    RahulBy: nowonder | 29-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward consistently there is only one group which will say that india would have progressed well under british rule when its to contrary and no prizes for guessing that group
