A combative Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief, on Wednesday dared the United States to carry out a military raid against him like the one that killed Osama bin Laden, saying he was not hiding and would inform the Americans himself about his whereabouts.
Saeed said this while addressing a press conference with other leaders of the “Defa-e-Pakistan Council” at Flashman Hotel in Rawalpindi, close to the headquarters of the Pakistan Army. This was his first press conference after the US government announced a $10 million reward for his capture on Monday.
He even taunted the US to give him the bounty offered for him under the “Rewards for Justice” programme, saying he would himself inform the US authorities about his whereabouts. “I am not hiding in caves and mountains, I am here in Rawalpindi,” he said.
Saeed offered to disclose his itinerary for the next few days: he would go to Narowal in Punjab later Wednesday, and then to Lahore on Thursday. He said if the United States gave him the $10 million, he would use it in the impoverished province of Balochistan, and account for its expenditure.
