In a major development, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Tahawwur Rana's final petition against extradition to India. The 26/11 Mumbai terror attack convict now faces imminent transfer. Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam hailed the decision as a "big win for India." Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, was convicted for aiding David Coleman Headley, the attacks' main conspirator. The U.S. government argued India's charges, including forgery, were distinct from U.S. prosecution. Rana is currently detained in Los Angeles. The Mumbai attacks in 2008 killed 166 people, including 6 Americans, leaving an indelible mark on global counterterrorism.
