rdf:langString Sajid Mir (also known as Sajid Majid), (born c.  1 January 1978 or c.  31 January 1976) is a Pakistani national from Lahore and a member of the terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba. Mir was the chief planner of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, in 2008. Sajid also managed the tasks of the 'foreign affairs' of Lashkar-e-Taiba's international wing. Sajid Mir was initially believed to be a fictitious character as claimed by Pakistan, but French magistrate Jean-Louis Bruguière's statement to journalist Sebastian Rotella confirmed that Sajid Mir is not a fictitious character. Jean-Louis Bruguiere, in 2009, also stated that Sajid Mir is a regular official in the Pakistan Army. After the Mumbai attacks attack, Mir was indicted in the United States in 2011. He was sanctioned as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List on 30 August, 2012 by United States Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. Mir is listed on the United States Department of State's Rewards for Justice Terror List with a reward of upto US$5 million for information which leads to his arrest. He is also listed on FBI Most Wanted Terrorists. China has prevented the United Nations Security Council from designating Mir as a global terrorist under the Al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee. In 2022, an Anti Terrorism Court of Pakistan convicted him of terror financing and sentenced him to 15 years of imprisonment.
