Fitzgerald, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, respectfully submits this Memorandum in Opposition to Defendant Rana’s Under Seal Motion to Suppress Evidence. I. Background The defendant moves to suppress the results of three search warrants, arguing that the affiant omitted material information from the affidavit submitted in support of the application for such warrants. More specifically, the defendant points to the fact David Headley, when arrested, first stated that Rana was not witting of his criminal activities and then later refused to answer any questions about Rana (as well as Headley’s wife), noting that Rana was his “only friend.” Considering the substantial volume of information in the affidavit that established probable cause to believe that evidence would be recovered at the three physical addresses, the omission of this information was not material. Even had the statements, and refusals to make statements, about Rana had been included in the affidavit, probable cause to believe that evidence existed at these locations still existed. For this reason, the Court should deny defendant’s motion without a hearing. 1 CREDIT INTELWIRE.COM FOR THIS DOCUMENT Case: 1:09-cr-00830 Document #: 297 Filed: 07/20/11 Page 2 of 13 PageID #:1816 A.

  • Press Release National Investigation Agency (NIA) Registered And
    Press Release National Investigation Agency (NIA) registered and investigated a case relating to the larger conspiracy of LeT and HUJI to organise spectacular terrorist attacks on places of iconic importance in India. The case was originally registered against two named accused persons viz. David Coleman Headley, Tahawwur Hussain Rana and other unknown persons. A team of NIA officers was deputed and investigation was launched. During the course of investigation, more than 300 witnesses were examined and evidence was collected from several sources such as banks, hotels, airlines, internet service providers and telephone service providers. The investigation of the case presented unique challenges, because all the accused persons were foreign nationals – seven being Pakistani citizens and two being citizens of US and Canada. The conspiracy was hatched in or around 2005 by the leaders of LeT and HUJI such as Hafiz Saeed, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Ilyas Kashmiri with active support and encouragement from serving officers of the Pakistani Army working for the ISI, such as Major Sameer Ali and Major Iqbal, to organise spectacular terrorist attacks on sensitive iconic targets in India over a long period of time. David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, both members of LeT, were placed in a position where they could work for providing tactical, material and financial support in planning and carrying out terrorist attacks in India and other places. David Coleman Headley had the advantage of Caucasian looks, American upbringing / accent and American citizenship. Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a Canadian citizen and Pakistani Army deserter, had the benefit of a network which he had developed while running an office and doing business for an immigration consultancy in Chicago, USA.

Leinenweber DAVID COLEMAN HEADLEY ) GOVERNMENT’S POSITION PAPER AS TO SENTENCING FACTORS The United States of America, by and through its attorney, Gary S. Shapiro, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, respectfully submits the following as its position paper as to sentencing factors and objections to the Presentence Report: I. Introduction Determining the appropriate sentence for David Headley requires consideration of uniquely aggravating and uniquely mitigating factors. Headley played an essential role in the planning of a horrific terrorist attack. His advance surveillance in India contributed to the deaths of approximately 164 men, women, and children, and injuries to hundreds more. Undeterred by the shocking images of death and destruction that came out of Mumbai in November 2008, Headley traveled to Denmark less than two months later to advance a plan to commit another terrorist attack. Headley not only worked at the direction of Lashkar e Tayyiba for years, but also with members of al Qaeda. There is little question that life imprisonment would be an appropriate punishment for Headley’s incredibly serious crimes but for the significant value provided by his immediate and extensive cooperation. Case: 1:09-cr-00830 Document #: 358 Filed: 01/22/13 Page 2 of 20 PageID #:2893 As discussed in this and other filings, the information that Headley provided following his arrest and in subsequent proffer sessions was of substantial value to the Government and its allies in its efforts to combat international terrorism.

  • David Coleman Headley: Tinker, Tailor, American, Lashkar-E-Taibah, ISI Spy
    David Coleman Headley: Tinker, Tailor, American, Lashkar-e-Taibah, ISI Spy Introduction David Coleman Headley, the monstrous Lashkar-e-Taibah (LeT) terrorist who played a vital role on behalf of the LeT and its patron, the Pakistani intelligence agency the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), in carrying out the November 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks and is presently serving a 35-year prison term in the US, has been in the news on multiple accounts in the last few weeks. Reports in the media in late July claimed that Headley had been brutally attacked by two prison inmates and had suffered grievous injuries. He had been rushed to the critical care unit of North Evanston hospital in Chicago, where he was battling for his life. However, a day after they appeared, Headley's lawyer John Theis refuted these media reports saying that "I am in regular communication with Headley. There is no basis for the reports…. Although I cannot disclose his location, he is neither in Chicago nor in a hospital". It therefore transpires that either the media have been patently ill-informed or Headley's lawyer is very keen to keep the attack under wraps. Why the media would want to waste valuable print space on an incident that never occurred is as baffling as any effort by Headley's lawyer to hush up a beating that his client was subjected to. That said, there is really little about Headley that is not intriguing. Headley again figured in the news in the third week of August when the Pakistan government took the daft and highly insensitive decision to include Headley's half-brother, Daniyal Gilani, in the official four-member delegation that it sent to New Delhi to attend the last rites of former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

    EDITORIAL C L O S E R T O P U N I S H M E N T MORE DETAILS EMERGE ABOUT TAHAWWUR RANA’S ROLE IN THE 26/11 ATTACKS More than 12 years since the dastardly attacks across prominent locations in Mumbai, its key conspirators have continued to evade justice in India. While nine of the attackers were shot dead by the police between November 26 29, 2008, one of them, Ajmal Kasab, was apprehended and sentenced to death after a trial that revealed the conspiracy and planning by LeT operatives among others responsible for the attacks. One among the foreign collaborators is Tahawwur Rana, who conspired with former FBI agent David Headley to assist the LeT in the planning and execution. Rana, a Pakistani Canadian citizen, was found guilty by a U.S. court in 2011 of providing material support to the LeT and planning an attack on the offices of the Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, and was later sentenced to 14 years in prison. Unlike Headley, who escaped extradition after entering into a plea bargain with the U.S. prosecutors and was sentenced to 35 years in prison, Rana was acquitted in the U.S. of charges of involvement in the 2008 terror attacks. An Illinois court commuted his jail sentence that was scheduled to end in September 2021, after he tested positive for COVID 19; this has opened the window for his extradition to India. Rana, according to Headley, had helped him to open an immigration firm in Mumbai, which was used by Headley to survey targets chosen by the LeT.
