US President Donald Trump announced that Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, will be extradited to India.
However, when replying to a question by an Indian reporter, the US President said he was unable to comprehend the question. “I can’t understand a word he’s saying. It’s the accent, it’s a little bit tough for me,” he said.
PM Modi said that the 26/11 conspirator will be tried in Indian courts for conspiring the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks.
“I am pleased to announce that my administration has approved the extradition of one of the plotters (Tahawwur Rana) and one of the very evil people of the world, having to do with the horrific 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack to face justice in India. He is going back to India to face justice,” said Trump.
