'Talks on access to Headley progressing'

“We are satisfied with the progress that these negotiations have made,” Rao said at a press briefing.

She also pointed out that there had been good cooperation between India and United States in counter-terrorism, adding that Indian agencies and the home ministry were in talks with their United States counterparts over access to Headley.

Home Minister P Chidambaram has repeated publicly that it was looking for access to Headley, who had allegedly scouted for locations in Mumbai for Lashkar-e-Taiba during the planning stage for the attack.
