David Coleman Headley, the Mumbai attacks accused, visited a nuclear power plant in India at the direction of his handler in Pakistan, Major Iqbal, in April 2008, according to unsealed court documents.
According to these documents, unsealed after the Chicago Tribune petitioned the court, Major Iqbal, said to be an ISI officer, also gave him Indian currency notes for his operation in India. “Additionally, based on instructions from Major Iqbal, Headley visited a nuclear power plant in India to conduct surveillance,” US federal prosecutors said in a 57-page document that gave details of the case and the modus operandi of Headley and other Lashkar operatives with regard to the Mumbai terrorist attacks.
In April 2008, Headley returned to Mumbai. As instructed, he conducted surveillance of potential landing sites and took boat rides around Mumbai harbour using a GPS gadget and making videos.
