"American suspect in Mumbai attack was DEA informant"
In fact, Gilani was so helpful as a DEA informant in the late 1990s on heroin imported from Pakistan, according to records and Inquirer interviews, that prosecutors made a rare move: They ended his probation years early, allowing him to travel freely. Within weeks, investigators say, he began training with terrorists in Pakistan.
His latest arrest ended just like his first. On Oct. 3, FBI agents in Chicago approached the man -- by now, he had changed his name to David Coleman Headley -- just before he stepped on a plane for Philadelphia. This time, the FBI had questions about terrorism, not heroin.
