External Affairs Minister, Dr S Jaishankar expressed his appreciation for the counter-terrorism collaboration between India and the United States following the extradition of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, one of the key accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.Earlier today, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the US, together with India, has long sought justice for the 2008 Mumbai attacks. “I’m glad that day has come,” Rubio said.advertisementReacting to Rubio’s post on X, Jaishankar said, “This is indeed a big step in ensuring justice for the victims of the 26/11 attacks.”Rana, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin, was extradited to India to face charges for his role in planning the coordinated shooting and bombing attacks that claimed 166 lives, including six US nationals. He arrived in Delhi on Thursday evening aboard a special flight and was formally arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).Marco Rubio highlighted the joint efforts of India and the US in achieving the extradition, saying, “We extradited Tahawwur Hussain Rana to India to face charges for his role in planning the horrific 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. Together, with India, we’ve long sought justice for the 166 people, including 6 Americans, who lost their lives in these attacks. I’m glad that day has come.”advertisementThe US Justice Department also welcomed the extradition, emphasising its significance in pursuing justice for the victims. Nicole Navas Oxman, the Justice Department spokesperson, remarked, “The United States yesterday extradited convicted terrorist Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a Canadian citizen and native of Pakistan, to stand trial in India on 10 criminal charges stemming from his alleged role in the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Rana’s extradition is a critical step toward seeking justice for the six Americans and scores of other victims who were killed in the heinous attacks.”Rana’s extradition was expedited following an announcement by former US President Donald Trump in February.Rana, a close associate of David Coleman Headley, another key conspirator in the attacks, facilitated logistics for the 2008 Mumbai attacks through his immigration services business, which served as a front for terrorist activities. The attacks, carried out by 10 members of the Pakistan-based Islamist militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, targeted India’s financial capital, leaving a lasting impact on global counter-terrorism efforts.Tune In in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
