26/11 mastermind sues journos for US envoy report

May 16, 2012 13:52

LeT founder Hafiz Mohammad Saeed has served legal notices on two Pakistani journalists for allegedly concocting a report about his secret meeting with US
Ambassador Cameron Munter, seeking Rs 100 million as damages. The notices were served on columnist Nazir Naji and reporter Amir Mir by Saeed's lawyer A K Dogar.

The notices contended that Naji's column in the Urdu daily Jang on May 9 and Mir's report in the Asia Times Online website on May 12 were aimed at tarnishing Saeed's image. Dogar said Saeed did not want to meet an envoy of the country that he claims is the "murderer of millions of Muslims and an enemy of Pakistan."
