[Pakistani American] David Coleman Headley personally visited every target site of the terror strikes last year in Mumbai, carrying out reconnaissance on behalf of the Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Posing as a Jew, he even visited Nariman House, the Jewish Chabad center, in July 2008. Headley, a Pakistani-born U.S. national, was arrest by the FBI last month.

Headley, who changed his name from Daood Gilani in 2006, posed as a Jewish American during his Mumbai stay. "The FBI seized a book called [T]o Pray [As] a Jew from him at the time of his arrest in Chicago. He had prepared himself thoroughly to pose as a Jew," a top Mumbai police officer said.

Tiny Survivor Doesn't Remember Mumbai Attack -Amy Teibel

Moshe Holtzberg celebrated his third birthday with his first haircut. He appeared not to recall the tragic events of a year ago, when his parents were killed in a terror attack at Chabad House in Mumbai, India.

His caretaker, Sandra Samuel, rescued Moshe from the bullet-raked building. She said he recognizes his parents in pictures, but he no longer cries out when he sees them. The child is being raised by his grandparents.
