Headley, who is serving jail term in the US, spoke from an undisclosed location and said that he had received funds from both Laskhar-e-Toiba and Pakistan spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to arrange for Indian Army personnel to spy for Pakistan.

The conversation also yielded his handler Sajid Mir's name, on whose behest Headley changed his name.
