US shared terror inputs with India

NEW DELHI, OCT 16
Insisting that it had shared with India terror-related inputs it deemed were “potentially credible” to its national security, the US today said it was looking into media reports that FBI had prior knowledge of David Coleman Headley’s links with terror groups in Pakistan.
“I can say that it is our policy and practice to share terrorism-related information promptly with our foreign partners, when we deem that information potentially credible and relevant to their national security,” US Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer said in a statement here.
“We do exactly that with partners around the world every day, including India,” he said.
His statement comes in the wake of reports in The Washington Post and by a non-profit newsroom that US security officials were aware of Headley’s links with Lashkar-e-Taiba.
“We are looking into published reports about possible information related to David Headley that goes back before the Mumbai attacks and how such information may have been handled,” Roemer said.
