Parts of the interrogation video tapes that were played during the trial of LeT operative David Headley's childhood friend and 26/11 attacks co-accused Tahawwur Rana was released to the media here today.
US District court Judge Harry D Leinenweber had yesterday allowed media outlets access to parts of the video tapes.
He had ruled that only portions of the tape that were played in court will be allowed to be accessed by the media.
American media outlets had filed the motion demanding access to behind-the-scene video tapes of FBI interrogation of Mumbai attacks plotter Pakistani-American Headley.
The motion was filed on October 6 after prosecutors refused to turn over to various media outlets the video tapes, which were played during the trial of Pakistani-Canadian Rana in June. Headley was the star witness in the trial.
Headley, Pakistan-born American citizen, is accused of scouting targets and conducting a recce in Mumbai before 26/11 attacks that led to the death of 166 people including six Americans.
Headley testified to US authorities on conditions that he be not extradited to India and not be given the death penalty.
