Letters: Head-on with Headley

India has once again got into a complicated legal tangle — this time, in matters of extraditing Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley, who has confessed to having done the groundwork for the Mumbai terror attacks. After the case of Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi, an accused in the 1987 Bofors pay-offs case, the case of extradition of Headley is going to be another big headache for India.

Though Home Minister P Chidambaram has said that India will continue to seek the extradition of Headley from the US, it is by no means certain that this will be an easy task.

Hence, the Centre should keep on mounting pressure on the US government to bring Headley to India as soon as possible.
