Probing code words used by Tahawwur Rana, co-accused: Officials

Tahawwur Rana, the 64-year-old Pakistani-born Canadian citizen, extradited from the US to India earlier this month for his role in 26/11 Mumbai attacks, is being interrogated about his "coded communications" with co-accused David Coleman Headley, Major Abdul Rehman Hashim Syed alias "Pasha" and Sajid Majid alias Sajid Mir to discuss further targets identified by them for another terror strike in India, officials familiar with the matter said.

While Headley carried out reconnaissance for Mumbai attacks, and later for new targets in 2009, Pasha, a former retired major in Pakistan military, was his main handler from Pakistan's spy agency ISI and Mir, the main Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) handler for the 26/11 attacks, in which 166 people including six American citizens were killed.
