India would want access to terror suspects David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana as the details coming out of the investigations in the cases involving them is causing "serious concerns" to the country, foreign secretary Nirupama Rao said today.

Asserting that the country "attaches the highest importance to unraveling of the conspiracy" involving Headley, the foreign secretary said "obviously at some stage we would want to have access. We are not denying that."
 
She was replying if the country would be satisfied only with access to the information coming out of the investigations by FBI and will be limited to documents only or India would want to have access to Headley and Rana.
 
Rao said she also wants to emphasize that India was very happy with the cooperation of the US authorities and agencies investigating the matter.

"What the US government has told us is that at all levels they will cooperate with us," she said adding agencies of both the countries were in close touch with each other in the ongoing investigations.

She said the case was very sensitive and obviously the details coming out of the investigations was a "cause of serious concerns" as these two individual were engaged in the activities detrimental to national security and interests of the country.

"We attach the highest importance to the unraveling of this conspiracy properly to completion of this investigation and obviously for us to have full access to the information of the investigations....", Rao said.
