Donald Trump Approves Extradition of 26/11 Mumbai Attack Suspect Tahawwur Rana

On January 21, the US Supreme Court rejected the review petition of Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, clearing the way for his extradition to India.

US President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday (Washington time) that he had approved the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, who is accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack. This announcement came during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Washington.

Rana was arrested in the US less than a year after the Mumbai attacks and was later sentenced to 14 years for his involvement in supporting a terror plot in Denmark.

Speaking at a joint press conference with PM Modi at the White House, President Trump remarked that the US was "immediately sending back a very violent man" – referring to Rana. Trump was responding to a question about elements in the US working against India, including Khalistani separatists.

"I don't think India had a good relationship with the Biden administration... A lot of things happened that weren't very appropriate between India and the Biden Administration. But we are giving a very violent man (Tahawwur Rana) back to India immediately. There are more to follow because we have quite a few requests. We work with India on crime, and we want to make it good for India," Trump stated.

Last week, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed it was in touch with US authorities to arrange the logistics for Rana’s extradition, now that he had "exhausted all legal avenues" in the United States.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri made this statement during a press briefing on February 7, following the US Supreme Court's dismissal of Rana's appeal.

"I think from recent developments, you would be aware that Mr. Rana has exhausted all legal avenues in the United States, with the US Supreme Court also dismissing his appeal. Therefore, we are now coordinating with US authorities on the logistics of his surrender to Indian authorities, and we will provide updates as soon as we have further information," Misri said.

India had previously stated it was working with US authorities for the swift extradition of Rana, following the Supreme Court's ruling on January 21.
