Why do doctors and professors always get into trouble? Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai, Dr Aafia Siddiqui, Brofessor Hafiz Saeed, Dr AQ Khan ....

Hafiz Saeed is somewhere in Pakistan. . That's a clue... So now does that make me eligible for $10 million award?

Bounty on Hafiz Saeed, Kit Kat on Bush?

WHAT?! There's a US$10mil bounty on Hafiz Saeed’s head? But the man roams the country, freely! I call dibs on bounty-monies. Whom do I tell?

If India had announced the bounty, Hafiz Saeed would have surrendered, got 51 crores, would have given 21 crores in bribe, and escaped.

Hafiz Saeed promises to ball a no-ball for 10 million dollars.

Dear US State Department, hope you're aware that Hafiz Saeed's home in Lahore is guarded by policemen. #bounty #fail

Omar javaid.....O m g WAT A COMMENT.....
The ten million offer was a code message to navy seals to get ready for the next mission, this time to Lahore! They better come over with three helicoters this time since they will have to confront Punjab police, not women children and an old sick person.

I put dibs on the Shariff brothers claiming it before anyone else..they are after all closest to him :O
@Mj:
You are funny my friend..but thats a fact...Paki Police/Army/ISI are less powerful than his mehndi supplier....
Let's not make wild assumptions about Hafiz Saeed being in Pakistan. Parvez Musharraf - the moderately enlightened leader - has already issued an official denial of the tendentious charge. If someday he IS discovered in Pakistan, he had better be prepared to pay hefty fines for illegally residing in the country.
Mehendi Suppliar!!!!
