ed its demand that Pakistan must prosecute Haf
iz Saeed, the head of Jamat ud-Daawa, who is accused o
f having masterminded the Mumbai attacks in November 2008.
During the press briefing, spokesperson for US State Department Heather Nauert told that Pakistan had been sent a message that Haf
iz Saeed must be ‘prosecuted to the fullest extent of
law217;.
The US also demands Haf
iz Saeed’s Lashkar-e-Taiba to be designated a terrorist outfit internationally. However, Pakistan had acted
against the group back in 2002 by banning it.
However, Nauert rejected the reports that intelligence sharing between Pakistan and the US had stopped after the security aid cut by the latter.
