Sajid Mir, mastermind of Mumbai attacks, was captured alive from Pakistan

Islamabad, Dt

Sajid Mir, the mastermind of the November 9, 2008 (9/11) terrorist attacks in Mumbai, has been arrested in Pakistan. The FBI has declared Sajid Mir a 'Most Wanted' terrorist. The U.S. agency declared Mir "most wanted" on charges of plotting to damage foreign government property, aiding terrorists, killing its citizens outside the United States and bombing public places.

Six of the 12 people killed in the Mumbai attacks were Americans. The FBI has offered a reward of up to 5 million for information leading to Mir's arrest and conviction. The Pakistan government has always been lying about Sajid Mir. Pakistan has always denied the existence of Sajid Mir. Pakistan had even claimed that Sajid Mir had been killed. But now that Pakistan is on the brink of economic impoverishment and is hoping for relief from the FATF, it wants to dispel the stigma of feeding its terror.

Sajid Mir worked directly for the Pakistani terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Toiba. Toiba, along with Sajid Mir, carried out the attacks in Mumbai with the help and support of ISI. When the terrorists were in Mumbai, Sajid Mir was their controller in Pakistan and provided all the information.

There is no further information on Mir, but US agencies believe he has been Toiba's top terrorist since 2001. From 2009 to 2011, he planned various terrorist attacks from Toiba. The FBI believes it plotted to carry out a terrorist attack on a Danish newspaper and its staff between 2006 and 2007. The FBI issued an arrest warrant against Sajid Mir on April 4, 2011. Sajid Mir was the handler of Dawood Gilani alias David Coleman Headley. Headley was a Pakistani-American double agent who prepared the Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist team for the Mumbai attacks.
