Tahawwur Rana faces up to 30 years in prison for his link to the Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
A Chicago jury has convicted a Canadian businessman of plotting an attack against a Danish newspaper that printed comics of Muhammad, but cleared him of any link to assisting in the terrorist attack in Mumbai in 2008. Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian citizen who's lived in Chicago for years, could face up to 30 years in prison for letting a friend, David Headley, use his immigration consultant business as a front from which he helped plot the Mumbai assault carried out by the Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba. Rana has claimed he did not know what Headley's true intent was, but a split jury felt otherwise.
