Mumbai attacks suspect Headley set to plead guilty tomorrow

By The Assam Tribune

CHICAGO, March 17 (PTI) - Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley, a Lashkar-e-Taiba operative charged with conspiring in the Mumbai terror strike, will plead guilty before a US court tomorrow, five months after he was arrested by the FBI.

A court notice said a "change of plea" hearing has been set tomorrow scheduling David Coleman Headley before US District Judge Harry Leinenweber. A routine status hearing was scheduled for Headley on March 23.

"Yes, he (Headley) will plead guilty," John Thesis, Headley's lawyer, told PTI when asked if his client is changing his not-guilty plea.

"I expect that is what is going to happen on March 18," Theis said.

He, however, declined to comment on whether Headley would be pleading guilty to all or some of the charges in the 12-count superseding indictment filed against him on January 14.
