US release Headley interrogation video
WASHINGTON: US federal prosecutors have released interrogation tapes of Pakistani-American David Headley in which he said that he had handed over all the evidences to the official.
According to the US media reports, Wednesday's release of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) tape came after taking permission from Chicago court.
The government argued that Headley's family would be endangered if the video was released. Judge Harry Leinenweber said he wasn't convinced of that.
Headley is heard on the tape saying: "I want some, I mean would like, I know it doesn't matter what I want, but I'd like, from my eyes, I want some kind of bust to happen.
"I don't want to keep on & I mean I know you have plenty of evidence against me but really I'm just providing you more and more evidence against me and you aren't making any arrests."
During questioning, Headley was told that he had to tell authorities everything he knew and that any plea bargain would be based on the importance and quality of the information.
That is when Headley made a motion to suggest a plea deal to avoid the death penalty and then decided to turn on his boyhood friend, Pakistan born Canadian Tahawwur Rana, who provided Headley the cover of his Chicago based immigration business.
Headley would go on to get his plea deal in exchange for testifying against Rana.
