Abdul Wahab Khan, the lawyer of Abu Jundal, today said the court has evidence which hints towards participation of David Coleman Headly's wife in the infamous 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks but the Pakistan American terrorist is denying her involvement.

"Headly's wife was talking with him in code language, She said the 'cartoon' (terror attack) is doing well, it did well the whole day. Headley said that his wife Shazia congratulated him on the success of 26/11 in code language and said that you have graduated. In record we also have a mail where Shazia told Headley 'you did a great job yaar'," Khan told the media here.

"Headly is not divulging about his wife's role in 26/11 terror attacks and we doubt that there is lot which is untold. The court had decided to forgive Headley only if he shares all the information and unravels the mystery by giving names of all the people involved in the terror attack. But looking at today's session we feel that Headley is hiding a lot of information and is not confessing the whole truth," he added.

Headley, who had been vehemently denying that he had not been paid by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, finally made a sensational revelation before a court today that the ISI had massively funded his entire operation.

In other revelations, Headley disclosed via video link from a US prison that he was planning another attack on India after 26/11 on the instructions of Al-Qaeda and not the LeT.

He also informed that plans to kill Shiv Sena chief Bal Thakrey was also made but he remained unharmed.
