NEW DELHI, APR 10 : Mumbai terror attack case accused Tahawwur Hussain Rana, who is being extradited from the US, is likely to be lodged in a high-security ward in Tihar jail here when he reaches India, prison sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All necessary preparations have been made in the jail, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rana, 64, is a Pakistan-born Canadian national and close associate of one of the main conspirators of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks David Coleman Headley alias Daood Gilani, a US citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rana is being brought to India after his last-ditch attempt to evade extradition failed as the US Supreme Court justices rejected his application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to officials, a multi-agency team had gone to the US to bring him to India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On November 26, 2008, a group of 10 Pakistani terrorists went on a rampage, carrying out a coordinated attack on a railway station, two luxury hotels and a Jewish centre, after they sneaked into India’s financial capital using the sea route in the Arabian Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As many as 166 people were killed in the nearly 60-hour assault that sent shockwaves across the country and even brought India and Pakistan to the brink of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
