The US has admitted that two of the three wives of LeT terrorist David Headley had multiple conversations with its officials in 2007 and 2008 about his radical connections but could not provide any specific information to India about time and place of terror attacks. State Department spokesman P J Crowley told reporters in Washington that in the contacts that the US had with Headley's spouses, there was no specific information as to who Headley was associated with or what they were planning to do. Crowley's remarks came after Indian officials in New Delhi asked why Headley's name was not shared by the US with India. 50-year-old Headley, who was arrested in the Chicago in October last year, has admitted his involvement in Mumbai terror attacks in 2008 which claimed 166 lives. Crowley said his response was based in the context of two meetings that the State Department officials had with one of Headley's spouses in late 2007 and early 2008. Responding to reporters' questions, Crowley insisted that the US authorities followed up with the information provided by Headley's wives and shared the same with India.
