    David Coleman Headley testified Monday at the trial of Chicago businessman Tahawwur Rana (tuh-HOW’-ur RAH’-nah), who is accused of giving Headley cover when Headley scouted sites in Mumbai for the Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LASH’-kar-ee-TOY’-buh).

    Headley’s testimony is being closely watched for what it might reveal about suspected links between Lashkar and Pakistan’s intelligence agency, which has been under scrutiny since Osama bin Laden was killed.

    Headley says he received training in Pakistan from Lashkar and that Pakistan’s intelligence agency provided assistance to Lashkar. He didn’t immediately give any specifics.
