Encouraged by the role played by David Coleman Headley in Mumbai attacks without even coming to notice of intelligence agencies, LeT had put the Pakistani-origin Chicago resident on another job -- surveillance of Jewish Chabad houses in several Indian cities -- for possible future strikes on the lines of 26/11.
The fresh indictment filed against Headley along with his school friend Tahawwur Hussein Rana, alleged that in March 2009, Headley conducted surveillance of various targets in India, including the National Defence College in New Delhi and Chabad houses in several cities of the country.
Names of the cities have not been disclosed by the federal prosecutors.
According to the chargesheet, the successful surveillance of terrorists targets for the Mumbai attacks by Headley also encouraged Ilyas Kashmiri of Harkat-ul-Jihad al Islam and Abdur Rehman Hashim Syed, a retired Pakistani Major, to seek his services for surveillance of potential terrorist targets in Denmark against a newspaper which had published cartoons of Prophet Mohammad.
