After the revelation of two out of three wives of Headley that US was aware of the 26/11 attack on India, US responded strongly by making a new twist into the incident. It says that it had made India aware of the threat, though generally, that it was going to be hit soon by terrorist act.

Spokesperson of the National Security Council, White House, Mike Hammer said that had they knew about the timing and other specification about the Mumbai attacks, they would have immediately shared those details with the government of India.

Hammer said the US “regularly provided threat information” to Indian officials in 2008 before the attacks in Mumbai.

He further said that it was US government solemn responsibility to make the other nations aware of the possible terrorist attack on their soil.

However, another US official denied the fact that any information on ‘threat’ was not shared to India before the attack on Mumbai.

Meanwhile a separate Indian source, who was involved in the investigations of the Mumbai terrorist attacks, said on the condition of anonymity that India did receive threat information from US which was general but not specific in nature.

Earlier, the second wife of Headley revealed that US law enforcement authorities were warned twice that the Pakistani-American was working for the Lashkar-e-Taiba, and planning a major terrorist attack.

Despite those warnings, Headley roamed far and wide on Lashkar’s behalf between 2002 and 2009, receiving small arms and counter-surveillance training, scouting targets for attack, and building a network of connections that extended from Chicago to Pakistan.
