US extradites Pakistani-Canadian national wanted by India for involvement in 2008 Mumbai attacks

A Pakistan-born Canadian citizen wanted for his alleged role in the deadly 2008 Mumbai terror attacks has been extradited by the US to India.

Tahawwur Hussain Rana landed in New Delhi yesterday.

“Together, with India, we’ve long sought justice for the 166 people, including six Americans, who lost their lives in these attacks. I’m glad that day has come,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio tweets.

The move is welcomed by Israel’s Counsel General to Mumbai Kobbi Shoshani.

Seven people were killed by gunmen at Nariman Chabad House in 2008, including emissaries Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg — part of several attacks on Mumbai sites over four days by an Islamist Pakistani group. In total, 166 people were killed and hundreds injured.
