US blames Pakistan for the failures in Afghanistan, claims Hafiz Saeed
2018-05-25
[Khaama Press] The leader of 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...
Hafiz Saeed
...founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its false-mustache offshoot Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The United Nations declared the JuD a terrorist organization in 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader. Hafiz, JuD and LeT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Pak intel apparatus, so that amounted to squat...
claims that the United States blames Pakistain for its failures in Afghanistan while accusing Washington of using ISIS as a weapon against the Moslem countries.

Saeed who is also the leader of Milli Moslem League has said that "ISIS is a dangerous weapon created by the US which it is using against the Islamic world."

He has also warned that if the Kashmire cause was abandoned, Pakistain would have to face increasingly difficult challenges, according to Pakistain Daily.

Saeed was designated by the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
under UNSCR 1267 in December 2008 following the November 2008 Mumbai attack in which 166 people, including six American citizens, were killed. LeT and several of its front organizations, leaders, and operatives remain under both State Department and Treasury Department sanctions.

Since 2012, the United States has offered a U.S. $10 million‎ reward for information that brings Saeed to justice.

Saeed was released on Friday morning from house arrest after a court rejected to extend his detention on Wednesday.

In reaction to his release, the White House said "Saeed’s release, after Pakistain’s failure to prosecute or charge him, sends a deeply troubling message about Pakistain’s commitment to combating international terrorism and belies Pak claims that it will not provide sanctuary for faceless myrmidons on its soil."

#2  Not sure anyone is to blame for failure in Afghanistan; I think failure is inherent to the place.
