The U.S. has approved the extradition of Tahawwur Rana to India to face trial for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. This marks a significant development in the case, as Rana had previously avoided extradition. David Headley, who played a key role in planning the attacks, remains in a U.S. prison under protective custody. Despite his conviction, details about his cooperation with U.S. intelligence agencies have raised questions about the handling of his case. Headley's connections to U.S. agencies, including the DEA and FBI, have come under scrutiny. Reports suggest that intelligence failures allowed the Mumbai attacks to occur despite prior warnings shared with Indian authorities.
