US President Barack Obama on Sunday voiced support for giving India access to Mumbai attack planner David Headley, in talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, a senior Indian official said.
Headley, the US-born son of a former Pakistani diplomat and American woman, has pleaded guilty to surveying targets for the 2008 bloodbath in Mumbai.
US prosecutors in exchange agreed he would not face extradition to India or the death penalty. Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said Singh asked for access to Headly in talks with Obama on the eve of a major nuclear summit in Washington.
