Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, is facing extradition to India for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that killed over 160 people. U.S. President Donald Trump approved the extradition after talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rana is currently in a Los Angeles jail. His extradition follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision that rejected his appeal. India has long claimed Rana was a key figure in the attacks, maintaining he had connections with terrorist groups in Pakistan. Rana was previously acquitted of aiding the attacks in a U.S. court but was convicted for supporting terrorism. He is linked to David Coleman Headley, who provided evidence against him regarding the planning of the attacks.
