Mumbai, Feb 12 (ANI): Narrating the revelations made by 26/11 convict David Coleman Headley, Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam on Friday said the former conducted a recce of Mumbai's Siddhivinayak temple and asked LeT not to attack the shrine as it was heavily guarded. Nikam said that Headley was asked by Major Iqbal to recruit people from Baba Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in order to collect confidential information from there. The Special Public Prosecutor said Headley had also purchased sacred threads from Siddhivinayak temple, which could be used by the attackers to blend among the Hindus. Nikam said that Headley also had links with the Al-Qaeda, which was not known to his handlers in the LeT.
