LeT Founder Saeed Offers Funeral Prayers for Kasab


Islamabad, Nov 24 (PTI): LeT founder Hafiz Mohammad Saeed led a gathering of thousands in offering funeral prayers for Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist involved in the Mumbai attacks who was hanged earlier this week, a media report said on Saturday.

Saeed, mastermind of the 2008 assault on Mumbai, offered 'ghayabana namaz-e-janaza' (funeral prayers in absentia) for Kasab at the conclusion of a two-day training session of the Jamaat-ud-Dawah at its headquarters at Muridke near Lahore.

The event was attended by thousands of people, the Urdu newspaper Daily Express reported.

It did not say when the event was held.

25-year-old Kasab, who was part of a team of 10 Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists who killed 166 people during three days of carnage in Mumbai four years ago, was hanged in a Pune jail on Wednesday.

The Pakistani Taliban have threatened to target Indians to avenge Kasab's execution.

The LeT has described Kasab as a "hero" who will inspire more terror attacks. Shortly after Kasab's hanging, the JuD refused to comment on the issue.

"We have decided not to issue any statement on the hanging of Kasab as we think it is not appropriate," Habibullah Salfi, a member of the JuD's media arm, told a news agency.

The JuD claims it has no links with LeT.

Following the Mumbai attacks, the UN Security Council had declared the JuD a front for the banned LeT.

Earlier this year, the US offered a 10-million-dollar bounty for Saeed.

    Instead Of Prayers For Kasab He Has To Pray Himself Because He Is The Evilone Who Made Kasab To Kill People And Die In Hell. Now Punishment Must Go Who Lead Him To Do That.
    I Hope Kasab Had Enough Time To Repent, He May Regreted, Repented For What He Done, He Paid Price Physically For His Crime Which Choice He Made With His Foolishness.
    May God Save Our Youths From Their Wrong Choices
    I Beleive That We Have One Life, And Only Alive We Have Opertunity For Everything Regret, Repent And Be Rite With God. After Our Death Others Prayers Are Useless. If I Kill Anyone Than Is Law Will Punish Others? If Like That All Will Do Crimes Beleiving That Others Will Pray For Them And God Will Forgive Them .. If I Sinned Myself In My Own Heart Repentance Must Come So Only I Have Forgiven By God,

    Attention USA/Obama or God fearing Pakistanis:
    Please eliminate this inhumane SOAB and his associates who, in the name of religion exploit the innocent poor and uneducated. These rightist radical elements forcibly push Kasab like victims with monitory benefits for the parents, to create their own suicidal and terror on innocent people that are un-Islamic.
    I request Pakistan and Bangladesh to unite with India to eliminate poverty and educate our GenNext to lead a decent living with basic essentials.
    Be Human!

    We do not know what kind of preaching LeT founder Hafiz Mohammad Saeed gives to his followers. But like many other religious wings of Political affiliates, never sends their own relatives or children for jihadi atrocities. Moreover why this person wants to create problem in India sitting at Pakistan and never seen any Indian Cities how Indian Muslims are leaving here? We do have few problems with radicals but it’s always done with perpetrators arrived from neighboring country only. Does he care for Indian Muslims rather than safeguarding their own Muslims dying due to bomb blasting happening on & average on weekly basis?
