Pakistan-born Canadian Tahawwur Hussain Rana, charged with plotting terror attacks outside US, was today denied bail by a court in Chicago. The court said there is a risk that he could flee the country if released on bail since he maintains strong family ties with Canada and has some but not substantial ties to the US. It also ruled that Rana owns an immigration business and has significant financial resources which could be used to fly out of the country.Rana was arrested by the FBI in October on charges that he was helping co-conspirator David Coleman Headley plot an attack on a Danish newspaper.US prosecutors filed fresh papers yesterday that claim Rana knew in advance of the 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes and complimented terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba on the attacks.Talking to reporters after the hearing, Rana's lawyer Patrick Blegen said his client was disappointed but in the light of the circumstances, his spirits were good. Belgen said that the government has got an extension of time to return the indictment until January 14 and if they indict on that day, the process of fighting the case in earnest will begin.
