Bounty for Hafiz Saeed to get information leading to arrest or conviction: USAs a defiant Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed challenged the United States to prove charges against him, Washington clarified its offer of $10 million bounty was not for finding him, but for information leading to his arrest and conviction.
"Just to clarify, the $10 million is for information not about his location, but information that leads to an arrest or conviction," state department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters on Wednesday.
"And this is information that could withstand judicial scrutiny, so I think what's important here is we're not seeking this guy's location. We all know where he is," he said when asked about the rationale of the reward.
Asked if he was suggesting that there is no information available to prosecute Saeed, Toner said: "There is information, there is intelligence that is not necessarily usable in a court of law."
The spokesman suggested that the timing of the reward offer had "nothing to do with the ongoing parliamentary review" in Pakistan about relations with the US following the US military raid that killed Osama bin Laden last May and the mistaken killing of 24 Pakistani troops during a NATO strike last November.
"This is about a process in and of itself, separate and apart from our ongoing bilateral relations with Pakistan," Toner said...
