Iqbal, who taught him how scout locations for terror attacks, gave him counterfeit Indian currency once, $25,000 in 2006, and suggested how best to get to Mumbai by sea - the actual method later used by terrorists. He went on nine spying mission to India, including to Taj Mahal Hotel which was later attacked, and provided Iqbal with photos and videos.
