Commonwealth Games 2010 on Headley radar: Intelligence

David Headley wreaked havoc in Mumbai. Now it has come to light, the 2010 Commonwealth Games were also the target of the Lashkar terrorist and his cohorts.

Intelligence Sources have confirmed to Headlines Today that Headley was planning a terror attack in the national Capital during the Commonwealth Games.

Not just this, the US-based terrorist of Pakistan origin was also planning to target the World Hockey Championship.

With an eye for detail, Headley was the man in charge of doing the recce for the Lashkar's terror missions. And he is believed to have scouted various spots in Delhi several times -- the latest being in March this year.

"I don't think 26/11 was the ultimate goal. They could have disrupted the Commonwealth Games. So security needs to be tightened," said M.K. Dhar, former joint director of Intelligence Bureau.

Experts believe that 26/11 is a reference point for the LeT for its future terror operations.

So, on the lines of 26/11, the Lashkar has planned a serial commando-style operation in the national capital, during the Commonwealth Games or the World Hockey Championship.
