Headley revealed nexus between terror, Pak agencies: NSA
India on Tuesday said the interrogation of David Coleman Headley, a key accused in the Mumbai terror attack case, has revealed the nexus of terror groups with the Pakistani establishment, an aspect which makes it difficult to deal with the menace of terrorism.
National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon said India now has a “much clearer picture” on the infrastructure of terrorism and its support systems in South Asia.
I think we know what needs to be done and we also know who is responsible for terrorism. I think what has happened is we have a much clearer picture today of the infrastructure of terrorism, the ecosystem that supports terrorism which frankly is not confined to South Asia but affects the entire world, he said at ORF-Heritage Foundation Dialogue here.
For us, it has been brought home most recently by what we learn from Headley which confirmed many of the things we knew before. And it is really the links with the official establishment and with the existing intelligence agencies it is that nexus which makes it a much harder phenomenon for us to deal with,” Menon said.
