Summary |
It has been called the most spectacular terror attack since 9/11. On the night of 26 November 2008, 10 men armed with guns and grenades launched an assault on multiple Mumbai targets with a military precision that left 166 dead. India quickly learned the attackers belonged to Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani militant group associated with Pakistan's secretive intelligence agency, the ISI. But what wasn't known then was that a Lashkar/ISI operative had been casing the city for two years, developing a blueprint for terror.His name was David Coleman Headley, and he'd been chosen for the job because he had the perfect cover: he was an American citizen. This program investigates the mysterious circumstances behind Headley's rise from heroin dealer and US government informant to master plotter of the 2008 attack on Mumbai.
