Sajid Mir (terrorist)

Sajid Mir (Urdu: ساجد میر, born 1976 or 1978) is a Pakistani national from Lahore and a member of the militant organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba. Sajid Mir was the chief planner of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, during 26 November 2008. Sajid had 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, was later revealed by French magistrate Jean-Louis Bruguière's statement to journalist Sebastian Rotella that Sajid Mir is not a fictitious character. Jean-Louis Bruguiere, during 2009, also stated that Sajid Mir is a regular official in the Pakistan Army.

After the 2008 Mumbai attacks, Sajid Mir was indicted in the United States during 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 for a reward of up to 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.

During 2022, an Anti Terrorism Court of Pakistan convicted him of terror financing and sentenced him to 15 years of imprisonment.

In 2023, a proposal by USA and India to designate him as a global terrorist was blocked by China.
