David Coleman Headley has exposed Pakistani Army's direct link to Mumbai terror attacks.
According to a report published in Outlook, the Pakistani-American terror suspect has confessed about the involvement of some serving Pakistani Army officials in the 26/11 attacks.
Headley reportedly identified the Pakistani Army officers as Major Sayeed, Major Iqbal, Major Sameer and Colonel Shah.
According to Headley it was Colonel Shah was the one who was communicating with the terrorists and directing them during the terror attacks in which at least 166 people were killed and nearly 200 others injured.
Union Home Minister sources in New Delhi said that out of the four officers named by Headley one is still serving in the Pakistani Army.
Earlier, the four Pakistani handlers named by Headley were referred to as A, B, C and D by American investigating agencies.
Till now Pakistan has been claiming that the Mumbai terror attacks was masterminded and executed by 'non-state' actors.
Headley used to work as a double agent for the US Drug Enforcement Administration and also interacted with the Lashkar-e-Toiba in Pakistan.
He was arrested in the US in October 2009 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Joint Terrorism Task Force at O'Hare International Airport before boarding a flight to Philadelphia, intending to travel on to Pakistan.
The 49-year-old is currently in custody in the US and has pleaded guilty to all the terror charges levelled against him by the FBI in a US District Court in Chicago.
He is being tried in the US for plotting terror attacks on behalf of the Lashkar-e-Toiba against India and on charges of plotting a terror attack against the facilities and employees of the Danish newspaper which had published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2005.

The fact that these evidences came out from America,where the current government there is trying its best to keep pak terrorists in good humour should open the eyes of the Indian establishment..
