description: "David Coleman Headley is a Pakistani-American terrorist who was the mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks. With the Pakistan-based Islamist terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Headley conducted extensive surveillance and reconnaissance missions throughout central Mumbai, providing critical information to facilitate planning and executing the attacks. Additionally, he, along with his accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana, was involved in an unsuccessful plot to carry out an attack in Copenhagen, targeting the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. For both of these crimes, Headley was convicted of 12 counts of terrorism and sentenced to 35 years in prison."
