ISI on Wednesday shrugged off testimony from an American who says he scouted targets for the 2008 Mumbai attacks by Pakistani militants with the help of at least one Pakistani intelligence official. David Headley, a Pakistani-American, pleaded guilty last year to being a co-conspirator in the Mumbai attacks.
He is a prosecution witness at the Chicago trial of a businessman, Headley's childhood friend, accused of providing a front for Headley's surveillance work in India. "I have nothing to say on this. This is his opinion, whatever he's saying," a senior Pakistani intelligence official who requested anonymity. "Major Iqbal," he said. "The name itself means nothing. How many Iqbals are there in the Pakistan Army or ISI? And if he is what he's quoted to be, do you think he would have given his true name?"
