US extradites Tahawwur Hussain Rana to India for his role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, supporting justice efforts.
The 26/11 terror attacks shocked the entire world and America has long supported India’s efforts to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice, the U.S. has said, as Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Hussain Rana was extradited to India to face justice for his involvement in the Mumbai carnage.
On April 9, the United States extradited Rana, 64, to India “to face justice for his role in planning the horrific 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks,” U.S. Department of State Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said Thursday (April 11, 2025).
“The United States has long supported India's efforts to ensure those responsible for these attacks are brought to justice, and as President Trump has said, the United States and India will continue to work together to combat the global scourge of terrorism,” she said.
Rana is in India’s “possession and we are very proud of that dynamic,” she said.
Ms. Bruce added that some people may not remember the attacks that resulted in the tragic loss of 166 lives, including six Americans, that shocked the entire world.
“I encourage you to look them up and to find out exactly how horrible this was in the importance of this situation today,” she said.
Earlier, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement to PTI that Rana’s extradition is a “critical step toward seeking justice” for the victims of the heinous attacks.

When the conflict in West Asia, which began with the U.S. and Israel’s attack on Iran on February 28, escalated into a regional war, analysts said that the war would last as long as Iran had missiles or until the Gulf nations ran out of interceptors. However, with “emergency” military sales, piling monetary costs and a strained supply chain, is the U.S. becoming too constrained in its effort to keep the war going — both militarily and monetarily?
