David Coleman: Canadian Citizen

Immigration Services Dept: Rana, a Pakistani native and Canadian citizen, is accused of providing a cover story and phoney identification for Washington-born David Coleman Headley, who last year pleaded guilty to charges he helped select targets for the three-day siege in India. Rana's lawyers say Headley lied to their client, according to Calgary Herald. Rana, 50, who ran an immigration services business with offices in Chicago, New York and Toronto, is charged with three counts of providing material support to terrorists and could receive life in prison if he is convicted. Headley, who faced a possible death sentence before his plea, testified as the U.S. government's lead witness against Rana and tahawwur Rana knew what he was doing when he helped plan the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks that killed about 160 people, including six Americans, a U.S. prosecutor told a federal jury in Chicago. "He's not some fool," Assistant U.S. Attorney Victoria Peters said of Rana in her closing argument Tuesday. "He knows exactly who David Headley is and what David Headley is about, and he fully approves." As reported in the news.
