The story until now: Sixteen years after David Coleman Headley (Daood Gilani) and Tahawwur Hussain Rana were arrested by the Federal Office of Research of the United States, and the National Research Agency (NIA) presented a FIR and a sheet of charges against them. His extradition marks a great victory for Indian researchers, lawyers and diplomats. Rana will now be in the custody of NIA and will face the trial in India. This will be the third trial in person in India of terrorists, after Ajmal Kasab and Zabiuddin Ansari aka Abu Jonnal, involved in the terrorist attacks of November 26, 2008.
What is the evidence against frog?
The case against Rana was presented by US researchers who processed him by Mumbai’s attacks, plan Copenhagen’s attack and linked to the Lashkar-E-Taiba (LET); He was convicted in the last two cases in 2011. He had appealed against the extradition order to India, but the United States Supreme Court finally rejected it last week.
The evidence against him is based on three things: first, frog actions in terms of financing and housing Headley, and helping him obtain Indian visas and tickets until 2009, as well as to build a false identity for him as a representative of travel and frog immigration. In November 2008, days before the attacks, Rana and his wife traveled to Mumbai and other Indian cities. Secondly, Headley’s testimony, as part of the plea against frog, clearly affirms that Rana knew about the conspiracy 26/11 of 2006, and helped Headley carry out her operation of recognition voluntarily and celebrated the attacks. Rana has denied this, and was possible in the case of the United States. Third, they are the FBI interceptions of frog conversations with Headley, including a particular meeting that Rana had with a “conspirator” in Dubai in September 2008, when he was tolerated for attacks.
What is Pakistan’s angle?
After Rana was extradited, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan tried to distance himself from him, arguing that he had tasks of Canadian citizenship in 1997, and had tried to renew his documents since then. Rana was born in the province of Punjab in Pakistan and attended a military school in Hasan Abdal, where first with Headley. He joined the Pakistani army as a doctor and went up to the rank of Colonel before I inexplicated he went to Canada, claiming that he had a medical condition. The Pakistani army was declared by a deserter and Rana said that Headley had told him that he would use connections to clean the frog records, so he was a good to help him. In his testimony, Headley says Rana remained in contact with Let Handler during operations planning. The question remains whether during the trial in India, Rana can point out a more direct link between Pakistan and the conspiracy 26/11.
What about the trial in Pakistan?
After initially pursuing the evidence and promising cooperation of India in the 26/11 case, the Pakistan government has practically dropped it, just when the path came to leave the commanders, including Hafiz Saeed, and it is possible that manipulators. However, between 2009 and 2013, the Federal Research Agency of Pakistan managed Sunrise Newspaper. He proved that Kasab had trained in the leg in the camps of Thatta, Sindh, and the boat used by the terrorists was tracked to a store in Karachi, where a Let operation paid for it. More significantly, the Karachi operating room from where Let Commanders gave direct orders to the terrorists was raided. The findings were shared with India for Kasab’s trial. However, when India sought to match voice recordings from the operating room with those in custody such as Hafiz Saeed and Zaki-Ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Pakistan stopped cooperating.
Do you have any of the US with a hero of India?
The questions persist about how much US authorities knew about planning, since they had shared a number of intelligence alerts of Nelerts about Mumbai hotels before November 2008. Agreeing Indian officials, Headley or the coupling agent, “Dafor, Dafor, in the informant agent,” informant, informant, dor agent. ” Let, and that intelligence left him or through FBI Intercepts.
