He said that he visited Sena Bhavan in Mumbai twice on instructions of his supervisor Sajid Mir as the target was to kill the Shiv Sena chief.
He said that he did not know who else was a target of the LeT apart from Thackeray.
Speaking about his testimony in Mumbai court, he said that he will not benefit according to US witness protection program by giving testimony to this court as there is no such thing as pleading pardon in US law.

He also informed the court about his purchase of two shops in the UAE and he is still the owner. Abdul Wahab Khan, the lawyer of Abu Jundal started cross questioning him in 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case on Wednesday.
