The United States has extradited Tahawwur Hussain Rana to India. This move comes as part of efforts to address his alleged involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. These attacks led to the loss of 166 lives, among them six Americans.
The extradition took place on April 9 and marks a significant step in the collaboration between the United States and India in addressing global terrorism. The U.S. has consistently supported India in its quest to bring those responsible for the attacks to justice. Secretary of State Marco Rubio commented, "As President Trump has said, the United States and India will continue to work together to combat the global scourge of terrorism."
The extradition underscores the ongoing commitment shared by both nations in fighting terrorism and ensuring accountability for such acts. The 2008 attacks, which drew worldwide condemnation, remain a pivotal moment in the fight against terrorism.
