MUMBAI:  Terrorist David Coleman Headley has said that Ishrat Jehan, the 19-year-old student killed in an encounter in Gujarat on 2004, was a member of Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar e Taiba's women's wing.

Ishrat was shot along with three men on the outskirts of Ahmedabad in 2004, by the Crime Branch of the Gujarat Police, which claimed that all four were terrorists involved in a plot to kill Narendra Modi.
 
The CBI has alleged that seven cops had shot the group "in cold blood" and destroyed evidence.

Senior Gujarat police officers were accused of staging the encounter in a joint operation with the state's intelligence bureau.

kistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley said on Thursday that Mumbra resident Ishrat Jahan was a suicide bomber for Pakistan-based terror outfit Laskhar-e-Taiba.

"Jahan, who was killed in a 2004 encounter by Gujarat cops, was a Lashkar member," Headley said while deposing for the third day before a Mumbai court via video from the US.

The Ishrat Jahan encounter took place on June 15, 2004, and involved encounter killings of Ishrat Jahan Raza, a 19-year-old girl from Mumbra, Maharashtra, and three men, Pranesh Pillai (alias Javed Gulam Sheikh), Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar who were allegedly linked to terrorists, by officers of the Ahmedabad Police Crime Branch.

The report said that Jahan and three others had arrived in Gujarat with the intention of carrying out terror strikes and also targeting Narendra Modi who was the chief minister of the state at the time.

David Headley confirmed to the Mumbai court that there was a women's wing of the LeT. "The operation was to shoot police at some naka. One woman LeT named Ishrat Jahan was involved," Headley told the court.

Deposing from an undisclosed location in the US, Headley had told special judge G A Sanap that ISI was helping different terror outfits in Pakistan and was providing financial, military and moral support.

Headley could not testify yesterday because of a technical snag in video conferencing.

 

Headley, who had scouted in detail the places in Mumbai that were attacked by 10 LeT terrorists on November 26, 2008, also revealed that the outfit had initially planned to attack a conference of Indian defence scientists in the Taj Mahal Hotel.

 

 

 

He said he also scouted the famous Siddhivinayak Temple and Naval air station on directions of LeT commanders.

 

 

 

Headley said earlier in the week that he knew ISI official Brigadier Riyaz as the handler of LeT's top commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who was the mastermind of 26/11 attacks.

 

 

 

Headley, who had visited Mumbai seven times to scout for targets, revealed that plans to target Mumbai had started over a year before 26/11.
