Parentage: Kamaluddin
DOB: June 5, 1950, Sargodha, Punjab
Present Address: Muridke, Lahore, Pakistan
Original Resident: 116-E, Bukhari Street, BOR Society,
Johar Town, Lahore
Pakistan NID No: 3520025509842-7|

Official: A former professor of Arabic and engineering, Hafiz Saeed is the founder leader of Lashkar-e-Toiba, the militant wing of Jamaat-ud-Dawaa, a radical Ahl-e-Hadith Islamist organisation dedicated to installing Islamist rule over parts of India and Pakistan. Saeed is suspected of masterminding numerous terrorist attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which resulted in the deaths of 166 people, including six US citizens. India has issued an Interpol Red Corner notice against Saeed for his role in 26/11.

Additionally, the US Treasury has designated Saeed as global terrorist. Saeed was also individually designated as terrorist by the United Nations under UNSCR 1267 in December 2008.

Indian dossier given to Pakistan on Feb 25, 2010 says gunman Ajmal Kasab met Hafiz Saeed during 21 day training between Dec 2007 and January 2008 where he motivated the Mumbai attackers to fight unto death. Again after the marine commando training, the 10 terrorist selected for Mumbai attack were taken to Baitul Mujahideen camp where Hafiz Saeed told them that the “time for jihad had come. Now we have to decide how to attack Hindustan.” He instructed them that the time of attack in Mumbai should be around 7.30 pm as there would be considerable crowds.

Saeed is ISI’s ace against India and is the linkman with Haqqani network against the US in Afghanistan. He has formidable clout with Pakistan Punjab politicians and is sought after by Pakistan Army.

Indian Intelligence found that Saeed attended the May 14, 2010 function to felicitate then newly appointed commander Lt Gen Khalid Nawaz. He was not only sought after by senior Pak commanders but was also closeted with former DG ISI and Pervez Musharraf confidante Lt Gen Nadeem Taj.

Dawood Ibrahim aka Dawood Ebrahim aka Sheikh Dawood Hassan

Dawood Ibrahim, the son of a police constable, has reigned as one of the pre-eminent criminals in the Indian underworld for most of the past two decades. He was India’s enemy number one as his group was instrumental in the first terrorist — the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts. D-company is involved in large-scale shipments of narcotics in the UK and Western Europe. A financial arrangement with Al Qaeda was reportedly brokered to facilitate the latter’s use of their smuggling routes. In the late 1990s, Dawood travelled in Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban.

Dawood is currently wanted by India for the March 12, 1993 Bombay Stock Exchange bombings, which killed hundreds of Indians and injured over a thousand more.

Information, from as recent as fall 2002, indicates that Dawood has financially supported Islamic militants working against India, such as LeT. This information, for example, indicates that he has been helping finance attacks in Gujarat by LeT.

Living in Karachi, the undisputed ruler of the Mumbai underworld is responsible for getting fresh Indian recruits for training in Pakistan. Protected by the Pakistan establishment, Dawood has not been photographed since 1990s Sharjah cricket matches and India does not even have his latest photograph, what to talk about his address.
