Trial Sheds Light on Pakistan Terror Ties

The best evidence of ties between Pakistan’s intelligence agency and terrorist groups may not come from evidence related to Osama bin Laden, but rather a trial in Chicago: On Monday, confessed terrorist David Coleman Headley said officers in Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directive recruited him to participate in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Headley said the terrorist group that carried out the attack, Lashkar-i-Taiba, "operated under the umbrella of the ISI”; that the groups "coordinated with each other”; "and ISI provided assistance to Lashkar: financial, military and moral support."
