Security agencies press for quizzing Headley's wife



Mumbai, Mar 21 (PTI) Indian security agencies have
pressed for questioning the estranged wife of US terror
accused David Headley, as certain e-mails downloaded from his
account showed her alleged complicity in the Mumbai terror
attack.

The e-mails of Headley available with the central
security agencies and forming a part of the probe of the
National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been shared with
American sleuths, official sources said on Sunday. Headley has
pleaded guilty to his involvement in 26/11.
They showed the woman allegedly having an extremist bent
of mind and to be in the know of the 49-year-old Headley's
activities in India and Pakistan, the sources said.
The sources said the mails downloaded from Headley's
e-mail account gave a broader picture about his role in India
and Pakistan and his links with noted socialites in this
megapolis.
The Indian security establishment was also awaiting a
response from the US's Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) to
the queries sent in connection with Headley's wife, whose
antecedents also have Pakistan links but is a US national.
The access to the personal life of Headley was provided
by his estranged Moroccan wife Faiza Outalha, who, the
security agencies suspect had carried out reconnaissance of
certain installations that were targeted by the
Lashker-e-Taiba(LeT) terrorists in Mumbai on November 26,
2008.
Faiza was married to Headley but had a divorce within a
year.PTI SKL
