US Approves Extradition of 26/11 Mumbai Attack Accused Tahawwur Rana to India

Tahawwur Rana, convicted of aiding Lashkar-e-Taiba, will face justice in India after exhausting legal appeals in the US.

US President Donald Trump confirmed the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, accused of involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, during a press conference with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Rana, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin, was convicted in the US for providing material support to Lashkar-e-Taiba but acquitted of direct charges related to the attacks.
The 2008 attacks, orchestrated by Lashkar-e-Taiba, killed 166 people, including 26 foreigners, and targeted locations such as the Taj Mahal Hotel and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai.
Indian authorities, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA), plan to interrogate Rana upon his arrival in India to uncover details about co-conspirators and Pakistan's involvement.
Rana's extradition is hailed as a significant step in US-India cooperation on counterterrorism, with both nations emphasizing joint efforts against radical Islamic terrorism.
