Sajid Mir
Sajid 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.
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. China has prevented the United Nations Security Council from designating Mir as a global terrorist under the Al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee.
In 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 the United States and India to designate him as a global terrorist was blocked by China.
Sajid Mir was born to a middle-class family in Lahore. His father, Abdulmajid Mir, who runs a textile business, went to Lahore during the partition of India. Mir is a son-in-law of a retired officer of the Pakistan Army.
Mir was associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed in 1994, and got early access to Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi. With the protection of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), he also planned terror attacks in the United States, France, Australia and Denmark (the latter for the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy).
Sajid Mir plotted a terrorist attack in Australia in 2003. For the attack plan, Mir recruited Willie Brigitte, a French national who converted to Islam and joined Lashkar-e-Taiba. Willie also funded him to travel to Australia in May 2003. Afterwards, in October 2003, Brigitte was arrested by Sydney police and deported to France, where, in 2007, he was convicted and sentenced to nine years of imprisonment for the charge of 'associating with terrorists', and Sajid Mir was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment. Willie Brigitte, who used to train Lashkar-e-Taiba members, confessed that Sajid Mir was well known by the Pakistan Army and that Mir never had any problems roaming in the Pakistan Army's areas.
