LeT kingpin Rana with a lady stayed in Kochi before 26/11 terror attacks
Kochi (Kerala):The state intelligence agencies have started their investigations on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)-based reports that Thahawwur Hussian Rana, the LeT kingpin who allegedly plotted 26/11 terror attacks, visited Kochi with a lady named Nazreth and stayed at Taj Hotel on November 17, 2008, and returned
to Mumbai the next day. The immigration records available at the airport and other
places with the state police confirm that both had not entered into the state
directly from any foreign country but from Mumbai only and went back to Mumbai
after a short visit. According to official sources, earlier it was suspected that
David Headley had accompanied or may have visited Kochi and stayed here apart
from Pune and other cities in India . The suspect rose strong when the officials
have found a similar name in a city's two star hotel but later confirmed through
passport verification that it was a different person. Top Intelligence officials
are in the process of finding the exact route and whom they meet during their
visit in Kerala. The state police special investigation team has already interrogated
many Students of Islamic Movement and many Naxal leaders.
