    Pakistani-American LeT operative David Headley will for the first time depose before a Mumbai court on Monday through video conference after being made an approver in the 26/11 attacks case which may further unravel the conspiracy behind the terror strike. The court is currently trying key plotter Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal. “This is the first time in Indian legal history that a ‘foreign terrorist’ will appear before an Indian court and testify,” Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said. 

    Nikam said Headley’s evidence is important to unfold many facts behind the 26/11 attack. He, however, refused to divulge any further information. He would depose before the court through video conference tomorrow and the day after between 7 am to 12:30 pm. Meanwhile, a Mumbai police official said that Headley can give broader aspect of the criminal conspiracy in the case.
