Mumbai: While testifying before a Mumbai court on Friday, 26/11 attacks convict David Coleman Headley revealed that his wife knew of the plot to attack Mumbai.

Testifying before the court via a video link from the United States, Headley said, “On November 28, 2008, I got an e-mail from my wife stating 'congratulations on your graduation, the ceremony was great'.”

When Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam asked him what exactly the e-mail meant, Headley said, “She was talking about the 26/11 attacks.”

“My wife gave me full credit for the successful terror attacks,” he told the court.
