FBI director not visiting India in May
The scheduled visit of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) chief Robert S. Mueller to New Delhi on Wednesday has been called off, official sources said. Though no reason has been given for the change in plans, the engagement of the US administration with the hectic developments after the killing of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, is believed to be the reason, sources said.
Sources said the visit is likely to be scheduled later in the year. Mr Mueller, who became the FBI chief in 2001, is due to retire in September. According to official sources, Mr Mueller, during his visit, was likely to provide details to top government functionaries of the investigations into the role of Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Rana in the 26/11 terror strike conspiracy. Headley and Rana were alleged to have links with the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit LeT. Headley and Rana, who are facing trial in the US, had visited India a number of times before the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack in 2008. —IANS
