A Pakistani-born Canadian businessman accused of helping orchestrate the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, one of India's deadliest, arrived in New Delhi on Thursday after the U.S. extradited him in the first such transfer in a terrorism case.

The US extradited a man long-sought by India for his alleged role in the 2008 Mumbai attacks as the two countries work together to combat the “global scourge of terrorism,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
