Headley bail hearing in US postponed indefinitely

Chicago: A hearing to determine whether one of two Chicago men charged with planning a terrorist attack on a Danish newspaper may be released on bail has been postponed indefinitely.

Federal prosecutors gave no reason on Monday in announcing that Friday's scheduled hearing for David Coleman Headley had been canceled.

The cancellation comes amid questions about whether the 49-year-old Headley was involved in planning the November 2008 terrorist attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai that left more than 170 people dead.

Headley's attorneys, John Theis and Robert Seeder, have declined to comment on reports the Indian government is investigating his possible involvement.
