David Headley, a Pakistani-American LeT operative, provided an insight into the religious, military and intelligence training being imparted by LeT, which has been responsible for the Mumbai attacks. Headley told that Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba runs a series of well-oiled courses for budding terrorists, ranging from religious indoctrination to military and intelligence training, which are aimed at boosting militancy in Kashmir.

In his testimony during the recently concluded trial of co-accused Tahawwur Rana, Headley told the court that he went for religious training by the LeT in 2002, the three-month operational military training in 2003 and the LeT leadership course in 2004. In between, he did a course in intelligence in 2003. "I did the basic - the religious course in the beginning. I did a preliminary course, a military. And then I did the advanced course. Then I did the intelligence course. Then I did the anti-terrorist course. Then I did the leadership course. And that's it." He told the court that all these courses were directed towards fighting in Kashmir.
