The trial of Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Hussain Rana who is accused with David Coleman Headley for the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks began here on Tuesday.
Rana, a 50-year-old Chicago businessman, is accused of helping his childhood friend, Headley, to scout targets for the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) for the Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, including six Americans. The trial began with the jury selection process at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse.
A total of 100 jurors filled out the questionnaire and will be questioned by US District Court Judge Harry Leinenweber on Wednesday in what is supposedly the most important terrorism trial ever to be held here. After the jury is finalized this week, the opening arguments of the case will be presented by both sides.
Rana with his gray beard and hair and wearing spectacles was accompanied with his attorneys Patrick Blegen and Charlie Swift. "It is the beginning of jury selection and jurors are filling out the questionnaire even as we speak," Blegen told reporters here.
The conviction of Rana automatically proved the guilt of Pakistan ISI's Training, Arming and exporting Terror to India.
