The U.S. State Department announced a $10 million reward (MSNBC) for information leading to the capture and conviction of Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the founder of the Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba and alleged mastermind of the November 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai. The United States has also placed a $2 million bounty on Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki, Lashkar-e-Taiba's deputy leader.

The cash incentives are part of the Rewards for Justice program. Last month, a State Department official testified in Congress (PDF) about the history and successes of that program, explaining Rewards for Justice is “one of the U.S. Government’s most valuable assets in the fight against international terrorism.”
