NEW DELHI: India has won the right to interview David Headley, a key planner of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks who is currently being held at a US jail, the Indian embassy in Washington said in a press statement issued on Wednesday. India has been demanding access to Headley to interrogate him over the attacks, which it blames on Pakistan-based terrorists. India’s Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam met with US Attorney General Eric Holder in Washington on Tuesday to press for a chance to question Headley. “The two partners agreed to take suitable steps to facilitate direct Indian access authorities to David Headley as soon as possible,” the Indian embassy said
