This doesn’t exactly come as a big surprise, but President Obama officially announced his intent to nominate Preet Bharara for the Southern District of New York / US Attorney position. WSJ Law Blog has the details here. Bharara was a speaker at the 2008 NASABA convention, and was honored in 2007 as South Asian Lawyer of the year by NASABA.
Other coverage: [Official White House press release]; [Sindhtoday.net]; [New York Times].
Congrats to Mr. Bharara, this is exciting news!
