US-RANA 2LST

Rana has filed several pre-trial motions asking the
government to provide him "specific" details of the kind of
"material support" he is charged with providing to terror acts
in Mumbai and Denmark, citing the need to be better prepared
for trial.
Blegen said given the "complexity of the case", his
client should be entitled to know "with specificity what
material support he is alleged to have provided" to terrorism
since the "superseding indictment is not a clear apprisal of
the allegations" against Rana.
The lawyer said the indictment keeps the allegations
"vague" and prevents him from properly preparing a defense.
The government has objected to Rana's demand for
"specific" details, saying the superseding indictment provides
more details than required and that the prosecution too
continues to provide extensive discovery.
Federal prosecutors added the government has already
provided "more than sufficient" information in the form of
over 20,000 documents for him to prepare his defense for his
trial. PTI YAS
