Pakistani terrorists attempted to attack Mumbai twice before the 26/11 strikes that killed 166 people but failed both times, the 56-year old Headley said.

This meeting came in the wake of Headley’s recce trips to Mumbai since the previous year (2006) when he made video recordings of various locations, including the iconic Hotel Taj Mahal Palace, and they studied the recordings of the hotel very carefully, especially the entry-exit routes.

In a chilling disclosure, Headley said the plan was to attack the hotel opposite Gateway of India when a major military conference was scheduled to be held there.

Later, when the attacks were executed with precision, it was mainly attributed to the pictures and videos Headley had clicked during his recce trips to the city.

On today, Headley identified photos of Lakhvi and Major Pasha before Special Judge Sanap and threw more light on Pakistan’s links with the 26/11 terror attacks which killed 166 persons.
