Faiza Outalha, ex-wife of David Coleman Headley, who was one of the main conspirators of Mumbai terror attack, has claimed that she was aware of the 26/11 and tried to prevent the carnage that claimed 166 lives on November 26, 2008.

Speaking to reporters, Headley's wife Faiza Outalha said that she even intimated U.S. authorities about possible attack but they were not "bothered" about it.

"So I went to them and I then started saying stuff, I said he's going to bomb everything, he's a criminal. They didn't bother," Outalha was quoted as saying by Chicago's WLS-TV/DT. "I'm covering my face right now, yes, because I'm afraid that people really could look at, see my face and pursue me or come and try to harm me," she added.

She also said that Headley had "betrayed" her in marriage and even "fooled" her on their honeymoon in Mumbai.

"It was love at first sight, you know, and we just married and, you know, it was so quick. He betrayed me in every way, many lies, he's been lying to me, I mean the marriage, he fooled me to this marriage," she said.

As per her statement, Headley claimed that he worked with Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) officials to survey attack sites in Mumbai.

Last May, Headley spilled the beans on ISI in the Chicago court saying that it provided financial and military support to terrorists behind the Mumbai attack.

He also admitted that Pakistan-based Hafiz Saeed, founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba, motivated him in the Mumbai attack.

It also reported that if she co-operate and provide information about Hafiz Saeed who was announced a bounty of $ 10 million on his head, U.S. official could arrest the top terrorist.

Recently, India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) sent Letters Rogatory to Morocco to record Outalha for further investigation on the Mumbai attacks.
