Chicago, May 17 (PTI) The trial of Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Rana, who is accused with David Coleman Headley for the 26/11 terror attacks, began here with the initiation of jury selection process at a federal court house.
Rana, a 50-year-old Chicago businessman, is accused of helping his childhood friend Headley to scout targets for the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) for the 2008 Mumbai carnage that left 166 people, including six Americans, dead.
The trial, supposedly the most important terrorism trial ever to be held here, began yesterday with the jury selection process at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse.
A total of 100 jurors filled out the questionnaire and will be questioned by US District Court Judge Harry Leinenweber.
After the jury is finalised this week, the opening arguments of the case will be presented by both sides.
