Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a key conspirator in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, has admitted to his role in the carnage, as per India Today TV. During questioning by the Mumbai Crime Branch at Delhi’s Tihar Jail while in NIA custody, Rana claimed he was a trusted agent of the Pakistani army.
As per the report, he also revealed that he and David Headley had undergone multiple training sessions with Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, which, according to him, functioned largely as a spy network.
Rana further stated that LeT mainly operated as a spy network.
According to India Today, sources said that Rana claimed it was his idea to open an immigration centre of his firm in Mumbai, and the financial transactions related to it were recorded as business expenses. He admitted to personally inspecting key locations like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus before the attacks. Rana believes the 26/11 carnage was carried out in collaboration with Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI.
