26/11 Mumbai terror attack case: Jail authorities deny permission to Tahawur Rana for telephonic conversation with family
New Delhi [India], August 1 (ANI): Jail authorities have denied permission to 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attack Mastermind Tahawur Rana to have a telephonic conversation with his family on a regular basis. Earlier, he was allowed to have a telephonic conversation with his family for a single time. Special Judge (NIA) Chander Jit Singh, after the response of jail authorities, disposed of Rana's application. He sought a regular call facility with his family. Legal Aid Counsel Piyush Sachdev appeared for Tahawur Rana. He confirmed that the permission is denied. On July 25, the court sought a detailed reply on Tahawur Rana's plea for a telephonic conversation with his family. Rana is in judicial custody after NIA interrogation in the 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attack case. He is the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. He was extradited from the USA in April this year. The court earlier had allowed a plea of Rana seeking a direction to provide a bed and a mattress in Tihar Jail. The jail authorities had opposed the plea by submitting that, as per jail rules, inmates aged 65 or more can be provided a bed. Rana has attained the age of 65. On the other hand, it was submitted on behalf of Rana that he is 64 years and 6 months old and has medical issues. After considering the submissions, the court had allowed Rana's plea. Additionally, the NIA informed the court that it has provided the complete medical history of Rana to the Jail authorities. Earlier, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on July 9 filed a supplementary charge sheet against Tahawur Rana in the 26/11 Mumbai terror case. The court had extended the judicial custody of Rana till August 13. This supplementary charge sheet contains procedural documents like arrest memo, seizure memo and other documents, Rana's counsel Piyush Sachdev had told ANI. The main charge sheet was filed by the NIA in December 2011. On June 9, the Court had granted Tahawwur Rana permission to make a single phone call to his family for the time being. The call was strictly conducted in accordance with jail regulations and under the supervision of a senior official from the Tihar jail authorities. Recently, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) collected voice and handwriting samples from Rana. The NIA had previously informed the court that Rana was confronted with substantial evidence related to the 26/11 attacks. The agency argued for further custody, citing his evasive behaviour during questioning and lack of cooperation. Senior Advocate Dayan Krishnan and Special Public Prosecutor Narender Mann represented the NIA in the proceedings, while Advocate Piyush Sachdeva defended Rana. 64-year-old Canadian businessman of Pakistani origin, Rana, was extradited recently in connection with his alleged involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. The devastating attack, orchestrated by Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed over 170 lives and left hundreds injured. (ANI)

The statement was also signed by the governments of Albania, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. It said Iranian intelligence services are increasingly collaborating with international criminal organizations to target journalists, dissidents, Jewish citizens and current and former government officials. The statement did not cite any specific incidents but said the attacks violate the countries' sovereignty and calls on Iranian authorities to 'immediately' put an end to illegal activities.

In 2022, Ottawa declared Iran's leaders — including senior government and security agency officials — inadmissible to Canada due to involvement in terrorism and human rights violations. The Canada Border Services Agency said last month that three people were found ineligible to remain in Canada in recent years because they were senior officials of the Iranian regime. Deportation orders were issued for all three and one has been removed from Canada. Hostilities in the Middle East have drawn more attention to the possible activities of Iranian regime representatives in Canada. The border agency has said it works very closely with domestic and international partners by sharing relevant information on border and national security issues. Canada has not had a diplomatic presence in Iran since 2012. — With files from Jim Bronskill, David Baxter and Dylan Robertson Canada World Canada Columnists Toronto & GTA

Canadian military won't restrict new handgun in aftermath of U.S. fatality
The company noted it has offered assistance in the ongoing investigation into the death of the U.S. air force member. Canada's special forces was the first to receive the P320. That was followed by a contract in 2022 of the more of the guns for the Canadian Army, navy, air force and military police. The introduction into service of the P320 was temporarily delayed after a member of Joint Task Force 2 accidentally shot himself with his handgun during training in Ottawa in the fall of 2020. The incident, which resulted in a flesh wound, prompted a temporary halt to Canadian special forces training with the P320. At the same time, Sig Sauer issued a statement noting it was 'working with Canadian Special Operations Forces Command to resolve an incident involving the unintended discharge of a P320.' The gun in question had been extensively tested and found to be safe, the firm noted. 'The investigation revealed the use of an incorrect holster not designed for a P320,' Sig Sauer added in its statement. In a statement issued June 22, 2022, the Canadian special forces command noted that an investigation into the November 2020 incident 'concluded the weapon is technically sound and functioned according to the technical requirements.' The Sig Sauer P320 is in use by multiple militaries around the world including Denmark, France and the United States. The U.S. Global Strike Command is currently inspecting all its Sig Sauer pistols. But the rest of the U.S. Air Force, as well as the US Army, Navy and Marine Corps have no plans to temporarily stop the use of the pistols by its personnel. The Marine Corps issued a statement that the gun was rigorously tested before being chosen. 'We have not seen any evidence that indicates design or manufacturing issues are present,' the Marine Corps said in an emailed statement to the Associated Press. More than 100,000 of the pistols have been delivered to the U.S. military. David Pugliese is an award-winning journalist covering Canadian Forces and military issues in Canada.
