FBI files fresh evidence against Rana, prosecutors seek time

US prosecutors have sought a nearly 60-day extension till January 14 to file indictment against Tahawwur Rana, accused of being part of an LeT terror plot in India, saying the FBI needs more time to diligently examine fresh evidence unearthed against him in recent raids.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also submitted fresh set of evidence against Rana, 48, in a sealed envelope and requested the Chicago court hearing the matter not to unseal it.
A motion in this regard seeking time till January 14 from November 19 to file the indictment against Rana was moved yesterday by US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald before Chief Judge James F Holderman in the US District Court, Northern District of Illinois. The court is yet to pronounce its verdict on this issue.
Rana, who was arrested last month by the FBI on charges of being part of a major plan by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) to carry out terror attacks in India and Denmark, is scheduled to be produced before court on November 19 when his bail plea would come up for hearing
