Breaking News: 26/11 Mastermind Tahawwur Rana to Be Held by NIA Upon Arrival in India Today

Tahawwur Rana, the alleged mastermind behind the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, is set to be extradited from the United States and brought to India today. According to sources, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) will take him into custody immediately upon his arrival. The extradition follows the rejection of Rana's plea by the U.S. Supreme Court, clearing the path for his transfer to Indian authorities.Rana, a Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman, is accused of aiding and abetting the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists who carried out the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks that claimed 166 lives. Indian officials have confirmed that he will face trial under the anti-terror law and is likely to be lodged at Mumbai's high-security Arthur Road Jail—the same facility that previously housed 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab.The development marks a significant step in India's ongoing efforts to bring justice to the victims of one of the worst terror attacks in its history. Security has been heightened in Mumbai, and preparations are underway to ensure a secure transfer and interrogation. Rana’s extradition is expected to have diplomatic implications as well, further strengthening India-U.S. cooperation in counter-terrorism.
