NEW DELHI: The United States has announced a reward of up to 5 million dollars for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Sajid Mir for his “role” in the 2008 attacks in Mumbai.
“Sajid Mir, a senior member of the Pakistan-based foreign terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), is wanted for his involvement in the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. The rewards for Justice program is offering a reward of up to USD 5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction in any country of Sajid Mir for his role in these attacks,” said the US Rewards for Justice program in a statement, accessed here.
“Mir is believed to be in Pakistan, ” it said.
