00:00 In a significant development, Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind behind the infamous Mumbai
00:08 terror attack and chief of the outlawed organization Jamaat-Uddawah, is currently serving a 78-year
00:14 imprisonment sentence in Pakistan.
00:17 This information comes from the United Nations, as quoted by the Press Trust of India (PTI).
00:23 Saeed was designated as a global terrorist by the UN Security Council's 1267 Al-Qaeda
00:30 Sanctions Committee in December 2008.
00:33 He has been in the custody of the government of Pakistan since February 12, 2020.
00:39 The imprisonment follows his conviction in seven terror financing cases, according to
00:43 an amended entry by the Sanctions Committee.
00:46 The international community had long sought justice for the Mumbai terror attack, and
00:51 Saeed's imprisonment is a significant step towards addressing those concerns.
00:56 The Security Council Committee made amendments to certain entries in its ISIL, Daesh and
01:02 Al-Qaeda sanctions list, imposing assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo on individuals
01:08 and entities associated with terrorism.
01:11 In December 2023, India formally requested Pakistan to extradite Hafiz Saeed, a United
01:17 Nations-proscribed terrorist wanted by Indian probe agencies, in several terror cases.
01:23 The request aimed to bring the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks to justice and
01:28 underscore the ongoing efforts to combat terrorism in the region.
01:32 Additionally, the Security Council Committee confirmed the demise of Hafiz Abdul Salam
01:37 Bhuttavi, a founder member of the Lashkar-e-Taiba or LET, and Saeed's deputy.
01:42 Bhuttavi, a UN-designated terrorist, played a crucial role in training the attackers for
01:47 the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.
01:50 He also served as the chief of the terror outfit on at least two occasions.
01:54 Bhuttavi passed away in May of last year while serving a sentence for terror financing in
01:59 a prison in Pakistan's Punjab province.
02:02 These developments highlight the collaborative efforts by the international community to
02:06 curb terrorism and bring those responsible for heinous acts to justice.
02:11 The fight against terror remains a global priority and these actions underscore the
02:16 commitment to ensuring the safety and security of nations around the world.
