India's most wanted terrorist

1.Hafiz Mohammed Saeed: The big boss of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba, Saeed is the main person behind the 26/11 bloodbath in Mumbai. A blue eyed boy of the ISI, Saeed is a provocative speaker and it is said that a large chunk of the recruitment process in Pakistan is dependant on his speeches, which are fiery in nature. His names figures on top of every chargesheet that has been filed in India for terror attacks carried out by the Lashkar.

                                            
2.Illyas Kashmiri: Kashmir is the chief of the Al Qaeda'a 313 brigade. Primarily dedicated to the cause at Afghanistan, he had a falling out with the ISI when they wanted him to stay away from India and continue his war against the US. However, Kashmiri came to the limelight when he claimed that the 26/11 plot was initially hatched by him but hijacked by the ISI to help the Lashkar. His name once again cropped due to his association with Headley and the latter had said that the two had planned on staging more attacks in India

                                          . 

3.Dawood Ibrahim: India's fugitive don is number 2 on the world list. Termed as a terrorist by the United States of America, Dawood is currently in Pakistan under the protection of the ISI. His primary role is to raise funds through fake currency and the drug trade. Also he is wanted in the 1993 serial bombings at Bombay. He is also primarily responsible for creating routes for Lashkar operatives which are already in use for his drug trade.

                                              

4.Maulana Masood Azhar: A key figure in the Kashmir Valley, this Jaish-e-Mohammad leader's focus had always been on Kashmir and is accused of carrying out mass killings in the Valley. However, his name came to the limelight during the Kandahar hijack case where the hijackers traded passengers of Indian Airlines Flight 814 for his release.

                                                   

5.Abu Hamza: His name first cropped up during the Indian Institute of Science attack at Bengaluru. Following this attack, he was packed off to Pakistan and was put in charge of organizing attacks from there. He came into the limelight once again post 26/11. He was one of the handlers who was on the phone with the terrorists who carried out the attack. He was made a handler after the Lashkar realised that his skills on the field were not up to the mark. Today, he continues to be in Pakistan and is one of the primary handlers of the Lashkar since the outfit found him to be a better motivator and planner when compared to afootoldier.
