Hafiz Saeed should be prosecuted to fullest extent of law: US

The United States has called for Hafiz Saeed's prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. US reaction came following Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's remark that no action could be taken against the UN-designated terrorist as there is no case against him. Abbasi, during an interview to a TV channel, referred to Saeed as 'sahib' or 'sir'.<br/>'<br/>Reacting strongly to the comments, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said the US believes that Saeed should be prosecuted and they have told Pakistan as much. <br/><br/>She said, US regard him as a terrorist, and believe, he was the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks which killed many people, including Americans.<br/>
