US Clears Extradition of 26/11 Accused Tahawwur Rana to India

The US Supreme Court's rejection of Rana's final plea enables his imminent transfer to India, where authorities plan to investigate his alleged role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

  • Tahawwur Rana, accused of aiding the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, is being extradited to India after exhausting all legal appeals in the US.
  • The US Supreme Court denied Rana's final plea for a stay on his extradition, clearing the way for his transfer to Indian custody.
  • Rana, a Pakistani-origin businessman, is alleged to have connections with Lashkar-e-Taiba, Pakistan's ISI, and David Coleman Headley, a key conspirator in the attacks.
  • Indian authorities, including the NIA, plan to interrogate Rana upon his arrival to uncover deeper terror networks and sleeper cells linked to the attacks.
  • Rana has cited severe health issues and potential risks of targeted violence in India, but US courts dismissed these claims in their extradition rulings.
