The Justice Department just dropped a bombshell: Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a 64-year-old Canadian-Pakistani “convicted terrorist,” got a one-way ticket to India to face the music for his alleged role in the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people, including six Americans. Yeah, you read that right—166 souls, gone, because of this guy’s twisted playbook.
The DOJ says Rana, who’s been cozying up to the Pakistani terror outfit Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, is staring down 10 criminal charges for helping orchestrate the bloodbath that ripped through Mumbai from November 26-29, 2008. We’re talking coordinated bombings and shootings at restaurants, a Jewish community center, and the iconic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel—places where people were just living their lives, not signing up for a terrorist’s target practice.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio didn’t mince words: “We extradited Tahawwur Hussain Rana to India to face charges for his role in planning the horrific 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. Together, with India, we’ve long sought justice for the 166 people, including 6 Americans, who lost their lives in these attacks. I’m glad that day has come.”

You can almost hear the gavel slamming in his voice.
Rana’s rap sheet? It’s a doozy: conspiracy, murder, terrorism, and forgery. Sounds like he was aiming for the supervillain merit badge. Prosecutors say he played puppet master to David Coleman Headley, an American who’s already rotting in prison for 35 years for his part in the attacks.

Rana allegedly set Headley up in Mumbai, using his immigration business as a front to scout soft targets. Oh, and he helped sneak Headley into India with bogus visa papers. Classy move, right?
The two reportedly schemed together in Chicago over two years, hashing out the details like they were planning a demonic bake sale. And this wasn’t Rana’s only rodeo—he already did 14 years in the U.S. for funneling support to Lashkar-e-Tayyiba and plotting to behead Danish newspaper workers. That little scheme, also involving Headley, got shut down before it could go off, thank God.
India’s been itching to get their hands on Rana since 2020, but the feds had to slog through years of court battles. On Monday, the Supreme Court finally told Rana’s lawyers to pound sand, denying his last desperate appeal to dodge extradition.

Now, he’s India’s problem, and I’m guessing they’re not planning a welcome party.
So here we are, folks—justice delayed but not denied. It’s a grim reminder that evil doesn’t get a free pass forever, even if it hides behind fake visas and Chicago meetups. Let’s raise a glass to the 166 who didn’t deserve this and hope India’s courts bring the hammer down hard.
