Washington: President Joe Biden’s administration has urged California court to clear the extradition of Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman Tahawwur Rana to India for his role in planning the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack.
The attorneys of the US administration urged the court to ‘conclude’ that India’s extradition request contains sufficient evidence of probable cause on each of the criminal charges for which it seeks Rana’s extradition.
Declared a fugitive by India, the 59-years-old Rana is facing several criminal charges for his involvement in the 2008 terror attack. India has accused Rana of conspiring with David Coleman Headley to assist the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in orchestrating the attacks in which 166 people, including six Americans, were killed.
