Tahawwur Rana, a Pakistani-born Canadian businessman, has been extradited from the U.S. to India for his alleged role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that killed 166 people. Rana, a childhood friend of David Headley, reportedly facilitated Headley's surveillance of targets under the guise of his immigration firm. Headley testified that Rana suggested awarding the attackers Pakistan's highest military honor, Nishan-e-Haider. Rana was previously convicted in the U.S. for plotting an attack on a Danish newspaper but acquitted of charges related to the Mumbai attacks. His extradition follows years of legal proceedings and diplomatic efforts between India and the U.S., marking a significant step in bringing the perpetrators to justice. (PC: News18 & India Today)
