Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman Tahawwur Rana has been arrested in Los Angeles on an extradition request by India for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, in which 166 people were killed, according to the US prosecutors.

Tahawwur Rana, 59, was recently released from jail on compassionate ground after he told a US court that he has tested positive for the COVID-19. He was rearrested in Los Angeles on June 10 following an extradition request by India, where he is a declared fugitive, they said.

Assistant US Attorney John J Lulejian told the court that the Indian government, as per the bilateral Extradition Treaty signed in 1997, has requested the arrest and detention of Tahawwur Rana with a view towards his extradition.

Mr Lulejian said India has informed the US that Tahawwur Rana is being prosecuted for a number of offences, including the conspiracy to commit murder. He made an initial court appearance on June 11.

Awe...the little terrorist that--of course was found in the US---had been released on compassionate ground.
