1. SS: A Pakistani-born Canadian businessman accused of helping orchestrate the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, one of India’s deadliest, arrived in New Delhi on Thursday after the U.S. extradited him in the first such transfer in a terrorism case.

   Tahawwur Rana, 64, a doctor-turned-businessman, was extradited in connection with the attacks that killed more than 160 people.

   “The National Investigation Agency on Thursday successfully secured the extradition … after years of sustained and concerted efforts to bring the key conspirator … to justice,” NIA, India’s anti-terror agency, said in a statement.

   He was accompanied back by Indian security agencies after his petitions challenging the extradition were rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.

2. This guy is in for the time of his life. Not in a good way at all. He will be grilled by everyone with a security clearance in India. He either becomes a proper turncoat and helps the Indians bring in a bunch of other rotten apples or no one will hear about him again for the next 30 years when he dies a “dogs death” as Indians would be put it.
