Mumbai, Feb 13 (IBNS): David Coleman Headley, who testified from an undisclosed US prison, on Saturday told a Mumbai court that he was informed by his handlers that 'nothing will happen against' 26/11 Mumbai attack masterminds Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi and Hafiz Saeed.

Testifying in front of the court, Headley said his handler Sajid Mir of LeT had told him 'both Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi and Hafiz Saeed are safe and nothing will happen against them.'

In more revelations, the Pakistani-American terrorist told the Indian court that a former Pakistan army major Abdul Rehman Pasha that the actions taken against Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi, Hafiz Saeed and several other LeT members by Pakistan Federal Investigation Agency was 'superficial'.

Pasha had joined militant group LeT and later al Qaeda.

He revealed that in e-mail exchanged between him and Mir, they  had used code languages and  referred to Hafiz Saeed as the “older uncle” and Zaki as the “younger uncle”.

A convict of the state, David Coleman Headley is serving a 35-year jail-term in the US for the 26/11 Mumbai attack which claimed 166 lives and injured several others.
