Mumbai Taj Mahal hotel during 26/11 attack
After two failed attempts to strike Mumbai in September and October 2008, the Pakistani handlers of the 26/11 accused David Headley began planning the attack on India's financial capital 'more closely than ever' in early November that year.
Testifying before a Chicago court on the fourth-day of the trial of co-accused Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Rana today, Headley, 50, said the first planned attack was in September, then in October and it finally happened in November.
Sajid Mir, one of Headley's Pakistani handlers, told him that the attack would occur on the 27th night of Ramadan (considered as the night of glory in Islamic calender), which in 2008 would fall on September 29, according to documents presented to the court earlier. However, the plan had to be abandoned as the boat carrying the attackers got stuck on a rock and was destroyed, the court documents said.
