Hafiz Saeed, allegedly the mastermind of the terrorist bombing in Mumbai that killed six Americans and hundreds of Indians, is openly taunting the U.S. after the U.S. State Department offered up to ten million dollars for information leading to his capture. Here is the MSNBC story from this morning:
"This is a laughable, absurd announcement. Here I am in front of
everyone, not hiding in a cave," Saeed told a news conference at a hotel
-- a mere 40-minute drive from the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad and just
across from the headquarters of Pakistan's army, recipient of billions
of dollars in U.S. aid.
Saeed operates openly in Pakistan from his base in the eastern city
of Lahore and travels widely, giving public speeches and appearing on TV
talk shows. He has been one of the leading figures of the
Difa-e-Pakistan, or Defense of Pakistan Council, which has held a series
of large demonstrations in recent months against the U.S. and India."
