NEW DELHI, India (AP) — A U.S. citizen convicted of scouting locations for the 2008 Mumbai attack says that Pakistan’s spy agency was deeply involved in the planning of the assault.

David Headley told Indian interrogators that officers from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency gave him $25,000 to fund his scouting missions to Mumbai ahead of the attack.

He says he debriefed his ISI handler every time he returned to Pakistan from Mumbai. He says his handler also made suggestions about how best to carry out the attack.

The revelations were contained in the Indian government’s report on its June interrogation of Headley. The report, marked secret, was obtained by The Associated Press.

The Mumbai attacks killed 166 people.
