Chicago businessman-turned-terrorist appears in India court wearing black hood

A convicted terrorist from Chicago appeared Monday in court in India, where he had been extradited and now faces the death penalty for his alleged role in the 2008 “Mumbai Massacre” by Pakistani extremists.

Tahawwur Rana, a convicted terrorist from Chicago, lost an extradition fight and is now fighting execution in India. Rana faces a near-certain conviction on some of the same charges he managed to beat in Chicago.

Rana, 64, is a Pakistani national and was a Rogers Park travel agent in 2008 when authorities said he helped plot a commando raid by terrorists on the city of Mumbai.

It was a four-day siege of Mumbai by heavily armed terrorists who killed 166 innocent victims, including six people from the United States.
