NIA case against Rana and Headley



The National Intelligence Agency has registered a case against American national David Headley for allegedly plotting terror attacks in India and the Government said on November 122, 2009 that it would press for his extradition from the US.

Government also said that it had enough evidence to show Headley, who is currently in custody in the US, had links with Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Taiba(LeT).

Rana was a businessman who was arrested on federal charges for an alleged terrorism plot against a Danish newspaper. The newspaper published twelve cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in 2005. One cartoon showed Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban. Any depiction of the prophet, even a favorable one, is frowned on by Islamic law as likely to lead to idolatry.
