(WLS) A former West Rogers Park travel agent could face the death penalty for his alleged role in what’s become known as the Mumbai massacre.
Tahawwur Rana was cleared for extradition Wednesday and he’s also looking at execution if convicted of terrorism and murder in the three-day commando attack that paralyzed the city of Mumbai and took 166 lives, including six Americans, in 2008.
According to investigators, Pakistani terrorists who carried out the deadly attack worked off a blueprint that Rana had a hand in producing.
Authorities said the former Pakistan Army doctor worked with another Chicago terrorist, David Coleman Headley, in scouting Mumbai locations and landing zones.
