Syed Zabiuddin was caught at New Delhi’s international airport.  It’s unclear whether he had arrived or was attempting to leave.

Zabiuddin is accused of tutoring the gunmen who went on to kill 166 people in India’s financial capital in 2008.  Indian authorities say Zabiuddin is a member of the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
