ISLAMABAD – A Pakistani militant leader with a $10 million US bounty on his head has offered aid to Americans hit by superstorm Sandy.
Hafiz Saeed says his organization, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, is prepared to send volunteers, medicine and food if allowed by the United States.
Saeed said in a written statement Tuesday that it is a religious duty under Islam to help Americans affected by the storm, even if the US has put a bounty on his head.
The US offered $10 million earlier this year for information leading to Saeed’s arrest or conviction. He founded Lashkar-e-Taiba, a militant group blamed for attacks in India’s city of Mumbai in 2008 that killed over 160 people.
Jamaat-ud-Dawa is believed to be a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba, which was banned by the Pakistani government.
