Reaz Qadir Khan, 48, was arrested at his home Tuesday morning on charges of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, according to U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall.
Thirty people were killed and around 300 hurt when suicide bombers hit the headquarters of Pakistan's intelligence service in Lahore on May 27, 2009.
Officials said Khan conspired with one of the bombers, identified as Ali Jaleel, providing communication and arranging financing in the years leading up to the attack.

The indictment unsealed Tuesday said that Khan provided Jaleel with advice to help him in his efforts to travel undetected from the Maldives to commit violent jihad and used coded language when communicating with Jaleel to avoid detection. It also said that Khan provided financial assistance so Jaleel could attend a training camp to prepare for the deadly attack.
Jaleel died while participating in the suicide attack. According to the indictment, Khan also allegedly provided financial support and advice to Jaleel's family after he died.
