US State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said United States have made points and concerns to the Pakistani Government regarding Hafiz Saeed, that he should be prosecuted. “We regard him as a terrorist, he was the mastermind of 2008 Mumbai Attacks”, said Nauert. Saeed was released from house arrest recently after a Pakistani court cited lack of evidence against him in the 26/11 Mumbai attack case. India has, time and again, protested against Pakistan for harbouring Saeed, who is wanted for plotting the Mumbai attacks.
