Rana bail hearing adjourned till Dec 15
Chicago: A Chicago court has adjourned the hearing on the bail application of Tahawwur Hussain Rana till December 15. Rana is one of the two LeT operatives caught by the FBI in October on charges of plotting a major terror attack against India that left 166 people dead in Mumbai.

During the one-and-a-half-hour long hearing, Rana's lawyer Patrick Blegen produced three witnesses, including Rana's brother-in-law, who spoke about his "honest and trustworthy character".

"No, it doesn't disturb me because I know that Judge Nolan is going to take everything into account and is taking her time because it's a very complicated and serious case. I mean, obviously I would prefer to have him out, and he has been in custody for a long time, but we're going to be as patient as we can be," said Rana's lawyer Blegen after the adjournment.

Earlier, the hearing in the case of Rana's accomplice David Coleman Headley, which was scheduled for December 4, had been indefinitely deferred.
