26/11 Mumbai Attack: Long Hand or Law finally reached Tawwur Rana

New -Delhi, April 9 (IANS). The long hand of the law eventually reached Pakistani-Canadian businessman Tawwur Hussain Rana, who is accused of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. Rana’s extradition is the result of the tireless efforts of Indian security agencies in recent decade and is a sign of the country’s growing reputation on the world scene. Rana is accused of helping Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley. Headley is considered the most important conspirator of the 2008 attack. Although Rana was acquitted by an American jury on charges of physical assistance for the attacks, he was convicted of two other charges, for which he was sentenced to more than ten years in prison. After Kovid-19 epidemic, he was ordered to be released from prison for ill health, but was again arrested for extradition to India. On the other hand, Headley obtained a guarantee of extradition under an agreement with the US authorities. On October 18, 2009, both Rana and Headley were arrested on several charges related to terrorism at the O’He International Airport in Chicago. The allegations were involved in the Mumbai attacks in 2008 and his involvement in his planned attack on Galends posts in Copenhagen. Recently, the US High Court rejected Rana’s petition on a ban on extradition in India. After this, his final attempt to avoid elicited India was also failed. Investigators in India have always believed that Rana is a ‘big criminal’ by Headley and that his extradition will be a great success for the country’s anti -terrorism campaign. Rana was born in Pakistan in 1961 and worked as a doctor in the Pakistani army. He later moved to Canada and became the businessman for immigration service. Before the terrorist attacks, he went to Mumbai and stayed in the Taj Hotel, one of the places where LashKar terrorists attacked on November 26, 2008. Rana’s friend David Coleman Headley (birth name Dawood Saeed Gilani) accepted his crime in the Mumbai terror attack and was sentenced to 35 years in the federal prison sentence in 2013, but his US argument that he would not be abroad. Let us tell you that 10 terrorists have attacked many places in Mumbai on the night of November 26, 2008. He targeted two five cytar hotels, a hospital, railway stations and a Jewish center. A total of 166 people, including six Americans, died in the attacks. The attacks were carried out by 10 Pakistani militants of which 9 died. Ajmal Kasab, a terrorist involved in the attack, was arrested on November 21, 2012 in Pune in Pune in Pune. President Donald Trump announced his extradition to India during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the White House in February. He said at a joint press conference with the Premier Modi that his administration had approved the extradition to ‘the world’s worst person’ Rana ‘to deal with justice in India. -Ians mk/
