“The detention and initial trial for David Coleman Headley that was planned for Friday in US District Court in Chicago is cancelled and will not be held (as scheduled). There is no fresh date and no additional information on hand at this time,” US Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Illinois, announced in Chicago on Monday.

Headley’s trial was scheduled before US Magistrate Judge Arlander Keys. His lawyer John Theis was not present right away for comment.
