Sajid Abdulmajid Mir (born 1976 or 1978) is a Pakistani national and a member of the militant organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba. Mir was the chief planner of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and has also managed the tasks of the 'foreign affairs' of Lashkar-e-Taiba's international wing. Declared as dead twice by Pakistani officials, he is still concerned by an international warrant by FBI. Sajid Mir was initially claimed to be a fictitious character by Pakistan, but was revealed by French magistrate Jean-Louis Bruguière, in a statement to journalist Sebastian Rotella, as a real person. In 2009, Bruguiere also stated that Sajid Mir was a regular official in the Pakistan Army. After the 2008 Mumbai attacks, 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 the 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 Program for a reward of up to US$5 million for information which leads to his arrest. He is also listed on the FBI Most Wanted list and NIA Most Wanted list. In 2022, an Anti Terrorism Court of Pakistan convicted him of terror financing and sentenced him to 15 years of imprisonment.Which was seen as confusing as the Pakistani authorities had long claimed that Sajid Mir was dead. China has prevented the United Nations Security Council from designating Mir as a global terrorist under the Al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee.
