26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Sajid Mir sentenced to 15-and-a-half years in jail by Pakistan court

Lahore: The anti-terrorism court here has sentenced Sajid Majeed Mir, the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, to 15-and-a-half years in jail for financing terrorism.

Sajid Majeed Mir is on the list of India’s most wanted militants for their role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. The United States has also announced a reward of $5 million on him.

Mir’s sentencing comes at a time when Pakistan is struggling to get out of the financial action task force’s grey list.

The Anti-Terrorism Department (CTD) of The Punjab Police,which has often been briefing the media about the conviction of suspects in such cases,did not report the conviction of Sajid Majeed Mir.
