India will send a team of investigators to the US in the next few days to interrogate the two persons arrested by the FBI earlier this month for plotting terrorist attacks in India and other countries. The FBI had arrested David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana,a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin,from Chicago on charges of conspiring to carry out terrorist acts. A source in the Home Ministry told The Indian Express that the government had decided to send a team of investigators to question the two and get more details about their plans. He said the team would leave for the US very soon. Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters that the FBI had been sharing information with India on the case. FBI has shared with us some documents relating to the case that includes their affidavit to the court. The information was shared with us a little while before they made it public. We are working with FBI on what needs to be done, Chidambaram said. The Home Ministry source said the information available from the FBI did not point to any advanced planning for carrying out a major terrorist attack in India,but it was still important for Indian investigators to make a routine interrogation of the two people.
