  • The U.S. has approved the extradition of a suspect in the 2008 militant attacks in India's financial capital Mumbai in which over 160 people were killed, President Donald Trump said on Thursday in a press conference with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The article from Reuters, published on February 14, 2025, reports that former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States has approved the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian businessman of Pakistani descent, to India. Rana is suspected of involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which resulted in 166 deaths. Trump made this announcement via a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating that the extradition was approved by the U.S. Department of Justice. This decision comes after a U.S. court in California had previously ruled in favor of extraditing Rana to India, where he faces charges of conspiracy and murder. The extradition process has been a point of contention, with Rana's legal team arguing against it, but the U.S. government has now moved forward with the approval.
