Breaking News: U.S. Confirms Pakistani Link in 26/11 Mastermind Tahawwur Rana’s Case | ABP NEWS

The extradition of Tahawwur Rana to India has brought renewed focus on Pakistan’s role in global terrorism, particularly in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. According to a statement by the U.S. Department of Justice, while Rana holds Canadian citizenship, he is originally a Pakistani national—a crucial detail that underlines Pakistan’s state-sponsored terror links. Rana, currently in 18-day custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), is being interrogated for his role as a key conspirator in the Mumbai terror attacks. Officials say the first phase of questioning will cover his background, links to Pakistan’s ISI, and associations with David Coleman Headley. A team of 12 NIA officers is leading the probe, under the leadership of senior officer D. Jaya Roy. The U.S. statement directly contradicts Pakistan’s consistent denial of involvement in the 2008 attacks. By naming Pakistan’s intelligence connections and acknowledging the role of non-state actors like Lashkar-e-Taiba, the U.S. has, in effect, held Pakistan accountable. This coordinated international effort, especially post-9/11 and 26/11, marks a turning point in combating state-backed terrorism. India now has a vital opportunity to uncover deep-rooted networks that orchestrated one of its darkest days.
