A Pakistan court has awarded 10 years jail term to 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed in two more terror cases. The Saeed-led JuD is the front organisation for Lashkar-e-Taiba which is responsible for carrying out the 2008 Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, including six Americans.
The US named Saeed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and the US, since 2012, has offered a USD 10-million reward for information that brings Saeed to justice.
Pakistani anti-terrorism court last week handed down 32 years imprisonment to the spokesperson of Hafiz Saeed’s JuD terror group in two terror financing cases. The Anti-Terrorism Court also convicted two other JuD leaders, including the brother-in-law of Saeed, in terror financing cases.
