NEW DELHI: Hafiz Saeed, a mastermind in Mumbai's multiple terror attacks in 2008 which killed nearly 200 persons, will soon feature on the United States government's most wanted list, a visiting senior US department of state official said here. Information on Hafiz Saeed who heads the dreaded Jamaat-ud-Dawa will fetch a reward $ 10 million, said US under secretary for political affairs Wendy Sherman after talks with National Security Advisor (NSA) Shivshankar Menon. Saeed, first founded the Lashkar-e-Taiba in 1990 that unleashed several instances of terror in India, including an armed attack on the Indian parliament in 2001, which led to an escalation of tension between India and Pakistan. After the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, India had formally sought that Saeed's parent organization, the Jamaat-ud-Dawa be kept on the UN terror list, which Saeed countered by claiming that the JUD was only a charity organization which funds and runs orphanages and religious schools. After a brief spell of arrest, after the Indian Parliament attack, the Pakistan High court had also released Saeed claiming there was no evidence against the terror suspect. India has claimed that Saeed has masterminded several terror attacks in India's militancy torn Jammu and Kashmir state as well as on the iconic Red Fort located in New Delhi.
