The trial of Pakistani-Canadian terror suspect Tahawwur Rana,charged with involvement in the Mumbai attacks,is expected to begin on November 1,with a US district court judge here saying today that the process should start “sooner than later.”

During Rana’s status hearing in the district court,Judge Harry Leinenweber set November 1 as the tentative date for commencing the trial of the 49-year-old terror suspect,after lawyers for both prosecution and defence agreed to it.

Judge Leinenweber said that the trial should begin “sooner than later” and fixed June 17 as the next date for Rana’s status hearing.

Wearing an orange jumpsuit with his legs shackled,Rana was also present in the court during the hearing which lasted 25 minutes.

Rana’s lawyer Patrick Blegan said that even Rana would like his trial to start “sooner than later.”

His co-accused,LeT operative David Coleman Headley,had pleaded guilty in March to plotting the Mumbai terror attacks.

Rana had stuck to his ‘not guilty’ plea during the last hearing.
