Pakistan has raised the bounty for information leading to the arrest of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar to 7 million Pakistani rupees, around Rs 24 lakh. The move comes weeks before the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) meeting in Paris from October 26 to 30. Azhar remains on Pakistan’s official list of most-wanted terrorists. Islamabad has claimed for years that he is not in Pakistan and fled to Afghanistan. Azhar, 58, founded Jaish-e-Mohammed, which has been linked to several major attacks in India. He is also listed as an international terrorist by the United Nations Security Council.
