Pakistan maintains 7-million-rupees bounty on JeM chief Masood Azhar; names him in 'most wanted' list

Islamabad: Pakistan has maintained a reward of 7 million rupees on information leading to the arrest of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar, who continues to be listed in the country's Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA) "Red Book" of most-wanted terrorists, officials said on Monday.

Azhar, the founder and chief of Jaish-e-Mohammed, is wanted in India in connection with several terror cases, including the 2001 attack on Parliament. He was also among the 20 fugitives India sought from Pakistan, a demand it renewed after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, which were carried out by 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists who killed 166 people.
