New Delhi: In a chilling revelation, a New Delhi court has disclosed that Tahawwur Hussain Rana, the alleged mastermind behind the devastating 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, had identified the Indian capital for future strikes mirroring the Mumbai carnage. This shocking insight emerges as the court emphasizes the urgent need for an exhaustive investigation, given the international dimensions of the conspiracy that transcend India’s borders.
The Special NIA judge, Chander Jit Singh, underscored the gravity of the allegations, highlighting that they concern national safety and security. The investigation reveals a complex plot involving multiple targets across various Indian cities, including New Delhi. To delve into the depths of this conspiracy, the court has authorized an 18-day custodial interrogation of Rana by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). This prolonged interrogation is crucial for confronting Rana with crucial witnesses, documentary evidence, and insights from reconnaissance visits, all pivotal elements in unearthing the truth behind the attacks.
Rana, a 64-year-old Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman, was extradited to India following the US Supreme Court’s dismissal of his review plea against extradition. His role is intricately linked with that of David Coleman Headley, a key figure in the 26/11 attacks. The Mumbai terror attacks, carried out by 10 Pakistani terrorists, resulted in 166 deaths over a harrowing 60-hour period. As Rana’s interrogation unfolds, the focus remains on piecing together the vast network of conspirators and understanding the international support mechanisms that facilitated the tragedy.
