A terrorist plot to assassinate Lockheed Martin Corp. CEO Robert Stevens because his company makes drones was revealed during testimony at a U.S. court in Chicago May 31, reports Defense News.

The plot was being devised by a Pakistani al-Qaida group testified confessed terrorist David Coleman Headley during the trial of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, his friend and alleged co-conspirator in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

Headley said he surreptitiously used Rana's office computer to conduct research on the plot to kill the defense contractor chief and testified on cross examination that his "research is more in-depth than Googling someone a couple of times," according to the news report.

Here's the linked story from Defense News:

CHICAGO - A Pakistan-based branch of al-Qaida was hatching a plot to kill the head of U.S. defense group Lockheed Martin, self-confessed terrorist David Coleman Headley testified in a U.S. court May 31.

"There was a plan to kill him because he was making drones," Headley testified during the Chicago trial of his childhood friend, Tahawwur Hussain Rana.

Headley pleaded guilty to 12 terrorism charges related to the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks and other unrealized plots in the wake of his 2009 arrest in Chicago.

He is testifying against alleged co-conspirator Rana in exchange for avoiding the death penalty and extradition to India, Pakistan or Denmark.

Headley testified that he secretly used Rana's office computer for research on the plot to assassinate the Lockheed Martin executive but dismissed his brief online search there as insignificant.

"My research is more in-depth than Googling someone a couple of times," he testified during cross-examination by Rana's defense attorney.

Headley said he was working on the plot with Ilyas Kashmiri, the commander of the Pakistani-based terrorist organization Harakat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HUJI), and a senior member of al-Qaida.

Headley pleaded guilty to working with Kashmiri on a plot to attack the Danish newspaper Jyllen Posten, which published controversial cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, after Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) got distracted with the Mumbai plot.

Rana is accused of providing Headley with a cover and acting as a messenger, with prosecutors alleging he played a behind-the-scenes logistical role in both the Mumbai attacks and another abortive plan to strike Copenhagen.

Rana, a Canadian-Pakistani and Chicago businessman, has denied all charges, and his defense attorneys argue that he was duped by his friend, whom he had met in military school.
