CHICAGO: The Canada-based brother of terror suspect Tahawwur Rana has come out in support of his brother saying the charges against him are false and described Rana as a 'man of integrity'.
Rana's brother, Abbas Rana has been working as journalist with Ottawa-based newsweekly Hill Times since 2002 and his statement has appeared in the paper yesterday in a column by its publisher Jim Creskey titled 'Why The Hill Times supports its reporter, Abbas Rana'.
Creskey wrote the charges have been "devastating" on the Rana family and that Abbas Rana knew nothing more about the accusations facing his brother beyond what he has read in the media.
Abbas on his part was quoted as saying he knows his brother is honest and the charges against him are not true.
"To the best of my knowledge, these charges are false," Abbas Rana said.
