In a couple of more sensational revelations made on the fourth day of his deposition, incarcerated leT operative David Headley said on Friday that al-Qaeda had asked him to carry out reconnaissance of New Delhi-based National Defence College (NDC), while Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) had told him to look for and recruit employees at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai as moles to provide classified information.
Headley disclosed that al-Qaeda had considered NDC as its “prime target”.
Headley also told the special court that he had befriended one Rajaram Rege inside the Sena Bhavan that he believed that the leT either wanted to attack the Shiv Sena headquarters or “assassinate” the party chief (Bal Thackeray).
