The US Supreme Court has approved the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian of Pakistani origin, to India. Rana, 63, is accused of aiding David Coleman Headley in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, which killed 166 people, including six Americans. He allegedly facilitated Headley and Lashkar-e-Taiba's activities, leading to coordinated attacks on Mumbai. Arrested by the FBI in 2009, Rana is currently held in Los Angeles. Despite contesting extradition citing double jeopardy concerns, his appeal was dismissed. Indian authorities seek to prosecute him for his involvement in the attacks, marking a significant step in delivering justice for the victims.
