India, US trying to hamper Pakistan quake relief: Hafiz Saeed
 [Dawn] The chief of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba... (JuD), Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, on Monday accused the US and India of trying to hamper efforts to help victims of Pakistain's earthquake. Saeed's statement comes a day after the US and India agreed to step up cooperation and prevent financing of "extremist groups", including the Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT) and Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD). In annual talks between top economic officials, India and the US spoke of "expanding cooperation on countering illicit financing, including targeting the financial networks and fund-raising activities of terrorist organizations," Indian Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram said Sunday. Saeed, however, once again denied accusations of any involvement in terrorism of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which is known in Pakistain for its relief work after natural disasters, particularly the 2005 Kashmire earthquake and 2010 floods. "Their aim is to hamper the relief work of our charity Falah-e-Insaniyat foundation in the earthquake hit Balochistan  ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , that's why they are trying to stop our funding," Saeed told news hounds.
