Pakistan has added the names of 19 terrorists involved in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in its latest summary of the ‘most wanted/ high profile terrorists’ list of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), however, has not mentioned the names of the masterminds of the attack including Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar.

According to a report by India Today, names of the masterminds Hafiz Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi are not listed since their whereabouts are known. The names of India’s most wanted Dawood Ibrahim and Masood Azhar have also been omitted from the 921-page document as Pakistan denies their presence on its soil.
