A 49-year-old Chicago man was charged with conspiring with members of Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar e-Tayyiba to carry out the 2008 Mumbai, India terrorist attacks, killing six American citizens, and planning a terror attack against Danish newspaper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten for posting editorial cartoons depicting the Muslim Prophet Mohammed.
The fact that Headley was charged in a criminal information, not an indictment, is another sign of his apparent cooperation with federal prosecutors.

Also charged today was Abdur Rehman Hashim Syed, a Pakistani general who alleged took Headley to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas in Pakistan during a January 2009 trip by Headly to meet with Lashkar members and Kashmiri separatists to discuss plans for carrying out a terrorist attack on Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper.
