Terror suspect David Headley, also known as Daood Gilani, appeared before a judge in Federal Court in Chicago, Illinois on Wednesday. Headley is charged in connection with the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack and is also accused of plotting an attack on the offices of a Danish newspaper. Forty-nine-year-old David Headley's arraignment before Judge Harry Leinenweber in Chicago was his first appearance since being charged on Monday. He pled not guilty to allegations he worked with the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba to plot the Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, including six Americans. U.S. investigators say Headley's travel schedule included five trips to Mumbai in the months leading up to the November 2008 attack, where he allegedly gathered surveillance used by the attackers.At a Wednesday Senate hearing on monitoring terrorist travel, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary David Heyman indicated that the circumstances surrounding the Headley investigation are changing the way authorities are looking at potential suspects.
