In the U.S., “9/11” is a synonym for terror; in India, “26/11”—denoting the Nov. 26, 2008, attacks that killed 168 people in Mumbai—has similar resonance. Teaming with ProPublica, Frontline investigates the strange story of David Coleman Headley, a Pakistani-American and former heroin dealer who spent two years planning the attacks with Islamic terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba and the ISI, Pakistan’s intelligence agency. Headley had the perfect cover: He was working as an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Tuesday, Nov. 22, at 9 p.m., PBS; check local listings
