More than 15 years after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, anti-terror business agency NIA is now zeroing in on an elusive figure who allegedly met Tahawwur Rana, one of the key accused, in Dubai before the carnage. According to NIA resources, this individual knew around the attack.
Rana, a 64-year-old Pakistani-starting place Canadian businessman and confidant of convicted 26/11 plotter David Coleman Headley, is now under high-security NIA custody in New Delhi, following his long-awaited extradition from the USA. His questioning, NIA officials consider, need to in the end resolve the ‘Dubai connection’ to one of the worst terrorist attacks in India’s history.
Tahawwur Rana have connections with Dubai Men
Who was the man that Rana met in Dubai before the Mumbai attack plan began: This person, according to data shared by US investigative businesses with Indian government, knew about the approaching attack. The NIA has confirmed that it’s investigating the identity and position of this individual.
According to NIA resources, Headley – also called Daood Gilani – had explicitly warned Rana in 2008 not to journey to India, hinting at coming near terrorist operations. Headley allegedly organized for Rana to satisfy a co-conspirator in Dubai who confirmed the attack became impending.
The Suspicious Lease
Another line of thinking revolves round a selection made through Tahawwur Rana and Headley in November 2008: neither renewed the lease of an office in Mumbai operated under the guise of Rana’s immigration consultancy. This office was reportedly used as a cover by Headley to behavior reconnaissance of potential targets, which includes key hotels and public sites in the city.
As per NIA investigation, in August 2005, Headley had reportedly informed Rana about Lashkar-e-Taiba’s (LeT) plan to send him to India to conduct reconnaissance under the guise of working for Rana’s firm. Headley advised that Rana’s immigration industry would be a suitable the front to protects activities, with Headley posing as a representative.
