US-based Pakistani Canadian terror suspect Tahawwur Hussain Rana will be formally arraigned in a US district court in Chicago on May 4 for his role in the Mumbai terror attack. His trial is set to commence on May 16.
Rana, who owns First World Immigration service, is charged with providing material help to Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Tayyeba by giving the cover of his business to his associate David Coleman Headley, who scouted targets in Mumbai.
While ruling that Rana be present in court on May 4 for the arraignment, US District Judge Harry Leinenweber informed that there are 75 jurors so far to examine the case. Unlike his associate Headley, Rana has pleaded not guilty. With the federal prosecutors having come up with a second superseding indictment that charges four more Pakistani conspirators as well, the stage is now set for the arraignment and trial.
