Convicted terrorist Tahawwur Rana of Chicago is seeking quick release from prison and is resisting an extradition request from India. According to US Court of Appeals records, Assistant US Attorney and Criminal Appeals Chief Bram Alden argued that Rana is extraditable under the terms of the US-India extradition treaty, emphasising that US lower courts that have already approved Rana`s extradition to India were correct in their decision, reported ANI.
"Lower courts here got it right. Rana is extraditable to India under the plain provisions of the treaty and India has established probable cause to prosecute him for his role in terrorist attacks that resulted in 166 deaths and 239 injuries," Alden said in his opening statement per the report.
