Headley may be related to Pak PM

As investigators dig deep into the antecedents of terror suspect David Headley alias Daood Gilani,indications have emerged that he may be distantly related to Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.

Sources close to the investigation said Headleys father Sayed Salim Gilani,a Pakistani diplomat and former director general of Radio Pakistan,traced his ancestry to the same Gilani family to which the prime minister belongs.

Daood Gilani,who changed his name to David Coleman Headley three years back,was arrested by FBI in Chicago last month for allegedly plotting terror attacks in India along with a Canadian-Pakistani Tahawwur Rana.

Headleys stepbrother Danyal Gilani was working in the office of Pakistan Prime Minister as his Public Relations Officer PRO,the sources said.
