Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, who recently announced his decision to return to Pakistan on March 23 next year, said on Friday that David Headley, who is facing trial in Chicago for his links to the November 2008
Mumbai terror attacks, could not have been trained by the Inter-Services Intelligence agency. “I don’t think he was trained by the ISI to carry out terrorism outside Pakistan. That is just not possible. I don’t know how he could have been trained by us,” Mr Musharraf said at a press conference in London on Friday.
However, when pressed again on the Headley’s testimony in the Chicago court, Mr Musharraf raised the issue of long-drawn history of confrontation between the ISI and India’s RAW. “Right from 1948, ISI and RAW have been on a confrontationist mode,” Mr Musharraf said and blamed the RAW for the division of East Pakistan from Pakistan, the Siachen confrontation, terrorism in Baluchistan.
He also raised the issue of Indian consulates in Afghanistan, saying that why did India need to have consulates in Afghanistan despite not having any business there.
