ISLAMABAD: The U.S. Embassy has categorically rejected media reports that Ambassador Munter met with banned Jamaat-E-Dawat chief Hafiz Saeed.

“Ambassador Munter has never met with Hafiz Saeed. No U.S. official has made any promises to, or agreements with, Hafiz Saeed as quoted in a section of press”, US embassy spokesperson said.

Hafiz Saeed is a wanted terrorist responsible for the deadly attack on Mumbai in November 2008 that killed 166, including six Americans. He is subject to UN Security Council Resolution 1267/1989 sanctions. There is an international responsibility to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks to justice, the spokesperson said.
