26/11 plotter jailed for aiding LeT

Tahawwur Rana, an accomplice of Mumbai attack terrorist David Headley, was on Thursday (January 17) sentenced to 14 years in jail followed by five years of supervised release for the "serious crime" of providing material support to Pakistan-based LeT and for backing a plot to strike a Danish newspaper. The US District Judge Harry D Leinenweber gave his order after hearing from both the government attorney and those of 52-year-old Rana, during which the two argued on the length of imprisonment.
