NewsX: India may get access to Headley, Tahawwur Rana for the second time. Mumbai attack terrorist David Headley and his accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana, currently in the custody of the United States, for questioning.

The positive indication was given by Washington to New Delhi during a recent bilateral meeting held in America.

The US, which has not given any opportunity to question Rana, may also allow Indian investigators to question the Pakistani-Canadian, who was sentenced by an American court for his involvement in a terror plot in Denmark.

The investigators believe that Headley and Rana have a lot of information. They believe that the duo's interrogations could throw more light on the conspiracy hatched to carry out the worst terror strike in India and role of those behind it.

51-year-old Headley had pleaded guilty to 12 terrorism charges, including his involvement in the November 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai that claimed 166 lives.

He had, however, entered into plea bargain with US authorities. A court in the US had sentenced 52-year-old Rana to 14 years in jail followed by five years of supervised release.

Rana was convicted for providing material support to LeT and for backing a "dastardly" plot to attack a Danish newspaper but not convicted for the Mumbai terror attack despite being a close associate of Headley.
