FBI said that Headley was arrested by FBI's Joint Terrorism Commission Task Force on Oct 3 while boarding a flight to Philadelphia at O'Hare Internationla Airport.

The affidavit filed by the FBI in the Chicago Court, showed Headley exchanging numerous  emails with the Chief of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir(POK) section of Harakat-Ul Jihad Islami(HUJI), a Pakistan based terrorist group.

In one of the emails, Headley had asked Illyas Kashmiri, Operational head of POK section of HUJI, which had a close link with Al Qaeda, whether the reason behind sending him to India was for surveillance of targets for new terrorist attacks.
