India is preparing to build 26/11 accomplices Tahawwur Hussain Rana for terrorist attacks in Mumbai after the US released it. 17 years later, justice for the victims of one of the deadliest terrorist strokes is a little closer and what else needs to be done?
Only in these decades we will also look at diplomacy against the terror of the new Delhi.
First- Tahawwur Hussain Rana, one of the men wanted to plan Bombai attacks 26/11- American and Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin, was issued to the India National Investigation Agency, which included him in the 2011 prosecution as a collaborator of David Headley, accompanied him to Delhi.
Rana’s court for attacks in which 166 people died and 238 were injured is important for many reasons:
1. Rana is only the second suspect that he is facing a personal court for attacks 26/11- The first was Ajmal Kasab, a lonely surviving terrorist from the attacks that was hanged in 2012.
2. Rana is a critical connection in the conspiracy for attacks and connections with planning attacks in Pakistan.
3. Rana was convicted by the US court for his references to Lashkar-E-TABA and for planning an attack on a newspaper in Denmark, but was liberated in the case of attacks in Mumbai-it would be the first time he faced punishment.
4. Rana previously worked in the Pakistani army as a doctor before leaving for Canada in 1997 and investigators would look for links he retained with military facilities and ISI.
The role of the wound in attacks that will be set in the event of prosecution included a number of areas:
1. As a childhood friend who re -connected with Headley in the US, 64 -year -old Rana
-Hou seated and financed headley,
-Med him to get tickets and visas to India,
-Noed plans and logistics for attacks 26/11, as well as another to India after planning another round of attacks
2. Rana is assumed that she coordinated with a character in Pakistan called Major IQball.
3. Rana and his wife traveled to India just before the attacks, maybe help with planning.
Indian anti -terror diplomacy
After attacking the Mumbai World, he finally paid attention to the consistent Indian problem with the terrorism coming from Pakistan.
1. Due to 45 of those killed, foreign citizens, including the US, France, Israel, Germany, Australia, Canada, Italy, Singapore, India, were able to build stronger ties in cooperation with terrorist.
2. The US, especially that India’s concerns with India, began to help with the initial ban Lashkar E Toiba and his chief Hafiz Saeed in the UN.
3. Although China has blocked Indian efforts for a number of terrorist lists at UNSC, India was able to strive for the UN sanctions against approximately 10 commanders, including the main Hafize Saeed, the chief of Zaki Ur Rahman Lakhvi, financier Muhammad Ashraf in 2008 and 2009.
4. India became a member of the FATF in 2012 and lobbied for Pakistan to maintain the List of the FATFS (FATFS) in 2012–2015 and 2018–2022-Pakistan to intervene for anti-indicial terrorist groups.
5. During cross-border operations of the Indian Army in 2016 and missile blows of the Indian Air Force in 2019 in response to terrorist attacks on security forces, India was able to ensure global support for its actions-in India again did not attempt any civilian hostage in the style and extent of the bombing attacks.
India has not made progress with Pakistan due to a connection between anti-indicial terrorist groups and Pakistani military- leading to further deterioration of ties. However, it should not be forgotten that in the early days after the attacks the Pakistani federal investigative agency or FIA investigations that helped India in building its FIA case carried out
1. A proven Ajmal Kasab was a Pakistani national and that he joined the prohibited flight
2. Found training camp Lashkar-E-Taiba (years) near THIST, Sindh, where terrorists were equipped and launched by sea
3. Explosive facilities used in Mumbai have been obtained from this training camp and compared. The fishing trawler used by terrorists to kidnap the Indian trawler in which they sailed to the bombai was brought back to the port, then painted and hidden- was restored.
4. The FIA watched the way of money from the ship’s engine to the patent number, through which investigators watched its imports from Japan to Lahore and then to the Karachi sports shop, where it was bought by Letter.
5. The fifth, the OPS room in Karachi was identified from where the operation was ordered.
Pakistan also arrested and several workers in court, but that has never been persecuted and was actively blocked. You can find all this in the article FIA DG Tariq Khosa in a column he wrote in Dawn.
With a blow now in Indian custody, what remains in terms of justice for victims 26/11?
1. Mastermind Hafiz Saeed, as well as those who have been operating that have been identified and arrested at different times, must face the court in Pakistan or to be issued to India Nia named 7 in her charges against Headley and Early.
2. The US must explain why it entered a Compliance with Headley’s action that was believed to be an agent Dea, and also works with ISI and years, That gave him immunity before execution or release.

WordView Take:
The Extradition of the Rany to India is an important step in the Indian effort to justice for victims of 26/11 and the victory for the investigators who followed it. However, this is also evidence of Indian diplomacy against terror, which changed the way the world looked at cross -border terrorism, and Indian specific fears of Pakistan. We hope that the court will focus on Pakistan to conclude this case and bring Masterminds to the Masterminds.
