"Rana, a Canadian national who has lived in Chicago for years, faces up to 30 years in prison on the two charges."
At least we can deport this bastard after he serves his prison sentence.
And this. Immigration fraud somewhere in here I am sure: "...prosecutors claimed that Rana, 50, knew exactly what he was doing when he helped Headley. Rana, who did not testify, was on trial for allegedly allowing Headley to open a branch of his Chicago-based immigration law services business in Mumbai as a cover story..."
And how is it that a Canadian national is running an immigration law services office in OUR country? How does this all happen?

“Chicago Businessman Found Guilty on Two Counts in Terrorism Trial”
SNIPPET: “A federal jury Thursday found a Pakistan-born Chicago businessman guilty on charges of participating in a conspiracy to attack a Danish newspaper and providing material support to the Pakistan-based terror group, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT).
Tahawwur Rana was acquitted on the charge of conspiring to provide material support to the November 2008 Mumbai terrorist strike that killed over 160 people, including six Americans.
The verdict came after two days of jury deliberations following a trial that began May 16.
Prosecutors alleged Rana’s immigration company provided cover to American Lashkar operative David Headley to scout targets for the Mumbai attacks. David Headley pleaded guilty last year to his role in plotting the attacks and was the prosecution’s star witness in the trial.
In his testimony, Headley said Rana knew about the plot and supported it. He also testified that members of Pakistan’s powerful intelligence services, the ISI, also helped plot and finance the attacks.
Headley’s testimony was corroborated by other evidence presented at the trial, including e-mails, tape recordings and videotaped admissions, Assistant U.S. Attorney Victoria Peters said in her closing arguments Tuesday.
Prosecutors also claimed Rana assisted Headley in a plot to attack the offices of the Danish newspaper, Jyllands Posten. The newspaper’s 2005 publication of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad had unleashed a wave of protests across the Muslim world.”
