David Coleman Headley, 49, has agreed to testify against suspected international terrorists in a wide-reaching case that has resulted in charges agains Pakistan militants and another Chicago man, Tahawwur Rana.
Headley would have faced a possible death sentence had he been convicted of taking part in the terror plot.
He pleaded guilty to 12 counts involving the Mumbai attacks and also a plot to target a Danish newspaper.
He formally entered that plea in a courtroom with heightened security. Metal detectors were set up today outside the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber, and at least eight deputy U.S. Marshals were on hand.
Headley is accused of traveling to India from 2006 to 2008 to scout targets that were later attacked by terrorists in a November 2008 siege of Mumbai that killed about 170 people, including six Americans.
