Mumbai attacks accused Tahawwur Rana moves US Supreme Court to block extradition to India

Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, has filed a plea with the US Supreme Court to block his extradition to India. This marks his final legal attempt after losing battles in lower and federal courts, including the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which denied his request for a stay on September 23.

India has sought Tahawwur Rana's extradition for his alleged role in aiding the 26/11 attacks that killed 166 people, including six Americans. Rana, known for his association with Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley, is accused of assisting the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group, which carried out the attacks.
