(WLS) A convicted terrorist from Chicago has won a temporary court fight.
A judge ruled Tahawwur Rana may stay in the U.S. during appeal of his extradition to India where he would face certain conviction and the death penalty for his role in a Mumbai massacre.
Rana has already been convicted in Chicago of ties to the Pakistani terror group that was responsible for the several-day siege in Mumbai, India, [in] November 2008. The attack killed 175 people, including six Americans.
Rana owned and operated a Rogers Park travel agency that authorities said was perfect cover for a jihadist plot with his friend David Headley to help terrorists in their native Pakistan attack arch-enemy India.
