The United States has placed a bounty of $10 million on Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Muhammed Saeed, and $3 million on his brother-in-law Hafiz Abdul Rehman Makki, while placing them on the most-wanted terrorist list.
According to an Indian newspaper, the reward on Hafiz Saeed is at par with Afghan Taliban founder Mullah Omar. According to Times of India, the move was disclosed to Indian Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai by visiting US Undersecretary of Political Affairs Wendy Sherman on Monday.
Saeed has been on India’s most-wanted list since 26/11 attacks that killed 173 people, including six Americans. Makki, also known as “Professor”, is allegedly the fund collector for Saeed’s organisation.
