Towards closure on 26/11 attacks

After Rana's extradition, the focus must be on uncovering information on parties whose links to the attack remain shrouded

- 

Seventeen years after the 2008 Mumbai attack, when a group of ten terrorists from Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) rampaged through India's financial capital and killed 166 people, most Indians still lack a sense of closure about the meticulously planned and executed terrorist attack. Against this backdrop, the extradition of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin, offers an opportunity to India's security agencies to tie up some of the loose ends related to the investigation of the Mumbai attacks and shed more light on the complicity of the Pakistani military and intelligence set-ups in helping the LeT to perpetrate the carnage.
