Used the party-hearty front to gain normalcy to help him in recces, develop contacts and tap recruits for sleeper cells for terror activities
Sleuths from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the role of suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative David Coleman Headley in the Mumbai terror attacks of November 26, say the man spent as much time setting up sleeper cells as he did being a playboy.
Headley allegedly partied hard and played harder to develop contacts, conduct recces at terror targets, and meet people from former sleeper cells, and maintain a semblance of a social life to ensure normalcy.
The NIA questioned his secretary and a man who worked at the visa agency in Tardeo for Headley.
Police have recovered a mobile phone that belonged to Headley and the police have been interrogating the names mentioned in the phone records.
