India and the United States have both indicted Sajid Mir of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba group for the three-day attacks on hotels, a train station and a Jewish centre in which 166 people were killed including six Americans. One of them was Sajid, the "project manager" of the Mumbai attack, believed to remain free in Pakistan, the US report said. "We have asked before, and are demanding again, he needs to be handed over," the official dealing with regional security issues said. Pakistan has repeatedly rejected US allegations that it is a safe haven for militants and said it has prosecuted the leadership of several proscribed groups. Pakistan is trying to get off the FATF grey list of offending nations.
