The NIA has got necessary permission from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs to approach the court. “Faiza is a Moroccan national and knows a lot about Headley’s dealings with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) patron Hafiz Mohammad Saeed...Any statement of evidence provided by her would be very helpful in trial against Headley,” said a source.
