David Headley testifies in court, refuses to answer questions about wife

Mumbai, Mar 23 (IBNS) Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley, who is testifying again before a Mumbai court, has refused to answer questions about his wife, Shazia Gilani in connection with the 26/11 terror attacks, reports said.

Headly, however, admitted that Shazia knew of his links with terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Regarding his accompliece Tahawwur Rana, who had been in an US jail for involvement in the attack on a Danish newspaper, Headley said he knew about his links with the Lashkar but was not in regular touch with the terror group. 

Rana  allegedly helped Headley reccee for the 26/11 attacks.

Headley is being questioned on Wednesday by the lawyer of Abu Jundal, the key 26/11 plotter, against whom he had deposed last month. The cross-examination will continue for four days.

Headley, who is serving a 35-year jail term in the US, had earlier told the court that he was for working for Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence and had met many people from the Pakistani Army. 

Headley has also said the ISI and Lashkar work in close coordination and the spy agency provides "financial, military and moral support" to the terror group.
