Rana expected to be indicted this week

Pakistan-Canadian terror suspect Tahawwur Hussain Rana is expected to be indicted this week as deadline to file indictment against Rana ending on Thursday for federal prosecutors in Chicago. Prosecutors allege that 49-year-old Rana, arrested by FBI in October last year on terror charges, knew in advance of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and complimented terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba for carrying out the terror strikes. Media reports say the grand jury indictment is expected to include additional charges against Rana resulting from the much more serious Mumbai terror attack in 2008.<br/> A Chicago court had in November last year given the FBI a 58-day extension to file indictment against Rana, whose wider involvement in an international terror scheme became apparent when co-defendant Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley began cooperating with the investigations.
