Pakistan questioned Tuesday on what basis the United States slapped a $10 million bounty on Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, saying it had not been officially informed of the decision. "We have not received any official communication in this regard," Interior Minister Rehman Malik told the private TV channel.
The reward for Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, was announced by US Under-secretary of State Wendy Sherman in India on Monday. "I cannot comment on it until there is official verification. Let us say that if it is confirmed, then we can ask them on what basis the bounty has been announced," the Pakistani minister said.
