US Seeks 'Usable' Information on Hafiz Saeed for His Conviction
(RTTNews) - The United States is seeking information about Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, founder of Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), "that can be usable to convict him in a court of law."
This was stated by State Department deputy spokesperson Mark C. Toner during a daily press briefing in Washington on Wednesday.
Saeed told a news conference in the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Wednesday that he was neither a fugitive from American law nor a militant in hiding from authorities in Pakistan, after the United States announced a $10-million bounty on his head.
Terming the U.S. reward as "ridiculous and misguided," he suggested that it should be given to him as his whereabouts in Pakistan were well known. "I am here, I am visible, I will be in Lahore tomorrow. America can contact me whenever it wants to," Saeed said and dared Washington to carry out a military raid against him like the one that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
