India Seeks US Help on Pak Links in Mumbai Attacks Case
Imagine there was a big, bad event in Mumbai a long time ago, like a scary movie plot.
A man named Rana was found guilty in America for his part in it.
Now, India's police, called NIA, wants to know if he had help from people in Pakistan.
So, they've asked their friends in America's police to help them ask Rana some questions.
This is like trying to solve a puzzle to find out everyone involved in the bad event.
The NIA has already told us that Rana, along with others like David Headley and terror groups, planned attacks in India.
They are waiting for America to share any new clues they might have found.
