Security agencies have been able to get an insight into the personal life of American terror suspect David Headley,with his estranged Moroccan wife telling investigators about connections he had in Mumbai,including with some socialites.

Faiza Outalha,who,the security agencies suspect had carried out reconnaissance of certain installations that were targeted by the Lashker-e-Taiba terrorists in Mumbai on November 26,2008,told National Investigation Agency (NIA) that she was married to 48-year-old Headley but had a divorce later,official sources said.

The woman flew to Mumbai from Karachi and crossed over through Wagah border into India the second time. She had come for the first time in 2007 and stayed with the terror suspect in Taj Mahal Hotel and later in Oberoi-Trident. Both the hotels were targeted by the terrorists on 26/11.

She again came in May 2008 via Wagah and went straight to Manali where she had her holidays near a Jewish house and later toured other parts of Shimla including Kufri,a well-known tourist destination.

While she claimed that she had since been divorced as Headley was having relations with several women,the investigators also found from her about the terror suspect’s relations with some upcoming Bollywood actors,prominent party-hoppers of Mumbai and socialites.
