He helped found Jamaat-ud -Dawa, an Muslim group attempting to bring Islamic rule to India and Pakistan. The military sect, called Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, has attacked Kashmir, United States, and some parts of India. Saeed is accused of being behind the terrorist attack on Mumbai in 2008 that killed 166 people. The money was offered through a program called the “U.S. State Department’s Rewards for Justice.” The amount offered to convict Saeed is one the largest sums they have offered ever.
