Headley bragged about Mumbai attacks in emails, says new book

What seems remarkable about Karre Sorenson’s finding is the extent of Headley’s involvement in the planning of the Mumbai attacks and who also justifies the Mumbai killings, calling them ‘retaliation’ for the wrongs done in Kashmir and even Afghanistan.

Karre Sorenson, a journalist with the Jyllands-Posten newspaper, has just published a book about a particularly brutal but abortive plot by Headley against his own newspaper. Although the 350-page book in the Danish language titled ‘Halshug’, which means behead or decapitate in Danish, focuses mainly on the conspiracy to attack the newspaper offices in Copenhagen, it also contains 80 pages about the Mumbai attacks.

‘I’ve gained access to all 9,000 emails on the email-forum for old students of the military academy that Headley went to in Pakistan. More than 300 of them are written by David Headley; most of them between the years 2008 and 2009. These emails show us a great amount of details about Headley and his state of mind. The emails tell of specific stories or events in Headley’s life. And they also show us his brutal words about Denmark and India,’ Sorenson recently told a newsweekly, in an email interview.
