VOA: US Warns of Repercussions for Pakistan Over Release of Alleged Terror Mastermind
ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN — The United States warned Pakistan on Saturday that there would be “repercussions” in bilateral relations unless Islamabad immediately re-arrested and prosecuted an Islamist leader accused of masterminding the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India.
The warning came after Pakistani authorities on Friday acted on a court order and freed Hafiz Saeed, a U.S.-designated global terrorist, from months of house arrest for a lack of evidence. Detention of the firebrand cleric had stemmed from allegations of terrorism.
Washington has been offering a $10 million reward since 2012 for information that would lead to bringing Saeed to justice for plotting the Mumbai bloodshed through his outlawed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) global terrorist organization.

As I said earlier this actually may help the US get him. The Pakistani government by the form of his release has removed their official responsibility for him that they had in his detention. Now they can say where he goes and does (or what his fate is) is not our concern.
a real ally would have planted a chip in his butt for tracking
