Terrorist held at airport day before 26/11 anniversary

Mumbai: A terrorist wanted by the Coimbatore police was apprehended at the international airport in Mumbai in the early hours on Thursday following a lookout notice (LoN) against him. The police are baffled about the possible purpose of his visit to the city a day before the second anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
The arrested person has been identified as Shabbir Kochi PKD, and is alleged to be associated with the terrorist outfit People Democratic Party (PDP). He is a native of Kannur district in Kerala.
According to the police, Shabbir was involved in a 2002 Arms and Explosives Act case in Coimbatore and a lookout notice was issued against him after he had absconded. "A case under various sections of the Indian Explosives Act has been registered at the Race Course police station in Coimbatore against Shabbir," said additional director general of police (ATS), Rakesh Maria.
