  Headley was a frequent traveler. Toward the end of 2009, his three-year-old passport had an impressive eighty-nine stamps, for an average of one flight every twelve days. The bottom image shows the stamp from Headley’s only flight out of Copenhagen Airport on August 5, 2009. He would usually use other airports when he traveled to Europe in order to protect his cover.

  The Immigrant Law Center on West Devon Avenue in Chicago was owned by Rana. Headley used to come here and borrow the computers.

  Tahawwur Rana’s white BMW was bugged by the authorities, and the FBI recorded several conversations between Rana and Headley.

  Rana’s house had one of the largest satellite dishes on the street and was like a second home for Headley.

  Posing as a tourist, Headley used his cell phone to make a number of seemingly innocent videos of locations in Copenhagen: the main train station; Kongens Nytorv, or King’s New Square, in central Copenhagen; and, of course, the offices of the newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The pictures shown here are stills from those videos.
