Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The US has offered a $10m bounty for the founder of the Pakistani militant group blamed for the attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai in 2008 that killed 166 people, a move that could complicate US-Pakistan relations at a tense time.
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed founded Lashkar-e-Taiba in the 1980s, allegedly with Pakistani support, to put pressure on India over the disputed territory of Kashmir. Pakistan banned the group in 2002 under pressure from the US, but it operates with relative freedom – even doing charity work using government money.
The US has designated Lashkar-e-Taiba and its social-welfare wing Jamaat-ud-Dawa as foreign terrorist organisations. Intelligence officials and terrorism experts say the group has plotted attacks in Europe and Australia.
