A Moroccan woman posing as wife of David Headley helped the US terror suspect in conducting a reconnaissance of Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) to help Pakistan-based terror group Lashker-e-Taiba plan the Mumbai terror attack, sources said on Tuesday.
Sources privy to the probe connected to Headley, a Pakistani-American, and his Pakistani-Canadian accomplice Tahawwur Rana, in India claimed there was evidence showing that the recce of the CST station had been conducted by a woman.
A total of 58 people were killed at CST during the 26/11 terror attack in which 166 persons lost their lives.
The initial statement of Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving Pakistani gunman in the Mumbai attack, was again re-visited by the investigators where the accused was saying that a "red colour cloth" possibly a stole used by woman came in front of the video clipping of the station.
The videotape was shot using a concealed camera and it was jerky, but provided a wide-angle view of the train station s access points and interiors, according to Kasab.
This was conveyed to the FBI during the recent meeting held in the national capital earlier this month.
After recreating the path of Headley and Rana, both of whom have been booked by the National Investigating Agency (NIA) for waging war against the country, the sleuths were now tracing the places visited by the Moroccan woman, who posed as wife of Headley during her stay in Mumbai last year for a week.
