Mumbai terror-attack accused Hafiz Saeed has been sentenced to 10 year in prison by an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan in two terror financing cases.<br /><br />These two cases are in addition to the two he was sentenced for in July last year.<br /><br />Along with Saeed, two of close aides — Zafar Iqbal and Yahya Mujahid — have been sentenced to 10 and a half years each.<br /><br />Saeed’s brother-in-law Abdul Rehman Makki has also been sentenced to six months imprisonment.<br /><br />This sentencing by Pakistan’s court comes after the Paris-based global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog – the Financial Action Task Force – said weeks ago, that they want to retain Pakistan on its grey list till February 2021.<br /><br />FATF said this because Islamabad failed to fulfil its six key obligations. <br /><br />One of the obligations included action against India’s most wanted Hafiz Saeed and Maulana Masood Azhar.<br /><br />Possibly, fearing its continuation in FATF’s grey list, action against Hafiz Saaed was initiated.
