US President Donald Trump on Thursday confirmed the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, an accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, to India. The announcement came during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi following their bilateral meeting at the White House.

“Tahawwur Rana will be going back to India, where he will face justice," Trump said, underscoring Washington’s commitment to counterterrorism cooperation with New Delhi.

Rana, a Pakistani-origin Canadian citizen, was convicted in the US for supporting the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and is wanted in India for his alleged role in facilitating the Mumbai attacks that killed over 174 people. His extradition has been a long-pending demand from India.
