What recent diplomatic development between India and the United States demonstrates their collaboration in combating terrorism, particularly regarding the 2008 Mumbai attacks?
The recent extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, represents a significant milestone in India-US counter-terrorism cooperation. Following the US Supreme Court's denial of Rana's petition to prevent extradition on January 21, the Pakistani-origin businessman will now face interrogation by Indian agencies and trial in India. This development emerged from a bilateral meeting where Prime Minister Modi praised President Trump's strong anti-terror stance. Both leaders emphasized terrorism as a common enemy and called on Pakistan to prevent its territory from harboring terrorists. The extradition marks a crucial step in delivering justice for the Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people, including many foreigners, while highlighting the robust international collaboration between India and the United States in combating radical Islamic terrorism.
