India and the United States together proposed to United Nations to give Sajid Mir, a Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist the designation of a global terrorist. Sajjid Mir has his involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai Terror attacks due to which he is under the category of wanted.

Who is Sajjid Mir?
Sajjid Mir has a bounty of $ 5 Million placed on his head by the authorities of the United States. This was due to his involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. In addition to this, he is the most wanted terrorist of India. In the month of June, Sajjid was imprisoned for 15 years in a case by an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan. He was imprisoned in a terror financing case.
Pakistan Claimed the death of Sajjid Mir
As per the Pakistani authorities, Mir had died but the Western countries did not believe them and were asking for proof constantly. Late last year, when FATF evaluated Pakistan’s progress on the action plan, this problem arose as a significant sticking point.
