Pakistan PM Yousuf Raza Gilani attended my father's funeral, David Headley tells US court

The startling detail was revealed by Headley, a self-professed American terrorist, during cross-examination by the attorney of Tahawwur Hussain Rana - an accused in the terror plot. Rana is a Chicago-based businessman and runs an immigration company. He has been accused of helping Headley and providing him cover as an executive of his company to run surveillance at the sites in Mumbai that were hit in the 26/11 attack.
Rana's attorney Patrick Blegen was seeking details about Headley's clout in Pakistan. He asked Headley about the promises he made to Rana, including to get the latter off the army deserters list. Rana was a doctor in the Pakistan army and had served in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf war. But he deserted the army and fled to Canada when he was reassigned to serve in the Siachen Glacier.
Because of this he could never return to Pakistan. Headley had assured him he would he would get him off the AWOL (absent without leave) list through his contacts in the Inter-Services Intelligence agency.
