Who is Tahawwur Rana?
Rana is a former Pakistani army doctor, who first moved to canada and then to America. After reaching America, Rana ran an immigration service in Chicago, which prosecutors allege was used to support terrorist activities.
Role in 26/11 (as per US court documents and investigations):
1. Relationship with David Headley: Rana was a close associate of David Coleman Headley, a Pakistani-American. Rana conducted surveillance for the 26/11 attacks. Headley visited mumbai several times to scout locations for the attacks. He posed as a business representative of Rana's company.
2. Covered for Headley: Prosecutors alleged that Rana helped establish the cover story by misrepresenting Headley's visits to india as legitimate business trips. Rana was accused of facilitating Headley's travel and operations, allowing him to use his business name and identity.
3. Full knowledge of the conspiracy: The US court found that Rana had full knowledge of the mumbai terror plot, although he was not directly involved in planning or executing the attacks. He was convicted in the US in 2011, but only for helping Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and a separate conspiracy to attack a Danish newspaper.
Rana was acquitted of direct involvement in the mumbai attacks by a US jury, as there was insufficient evidence to show that he had knowingly supported that specific operation.
