Canadian Extradited to India for 2008 Mumbai Attacks

Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a 64-year-old Pakistani-born Canadian businessman, has been extradited from the United States to India to face trial for his alleged involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed over 160 people. His arrival in New Delhi marks a significant achievement for India's National Investigation Agency, which has worked for years to secure his extradition, previously announced by Donald Trump. Rana was sentenced to 14 years in the U.S. for supporting the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which India accuses of orchestrating the attacks. Indian officials, including Home Minister Amit Shah, hailed the extradition as a diplomatic victory for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Rana has denied the charges against him, with his defense describing him as an innocent man who was ensnared in a larger plot. The case centers around his alleged collaboration with David Coleman Headley, the primary conspirator behind the attacks.
