Hafiz Saeed sees drones coming to get him

Lashkar-e-Tayyiba chief and Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed on Wednesday led Eid-ul-Fitr prayers in Lahore where he sought to whip up war hysteria, saying the US and India were signing agreements against Pakistan and there were preparations for a "big war". Addressing a large gathering at the Gaddafi Stadium, the Lashkar-e-Tayyiba founder called for unity among Muslim community "to fail the design of infidels". He said international players are conspiring against Pakistan's nuclear programme. "The United States and India are signing agreements against Pakistan and there has been a preparation of a big war", he said, alleging "drones are parked at Indian airports and our rulers are engaged in a fight with opposition." Saeed, on whose head the US has put a bounty of $10 million, termed Pakistan and Saudi Arabia's growing distance with the US as a "blessing in disguise". "It is a blessing in disguise that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are getting distanced from America. This will lay foundation of the Islamic Union which is the need of the hour for the Islamic world," he said.
