Hafiz Muhammad Saeed (Urdu: حافظ محمد سعید; born 1950) is the amir of Jama'at-ud-Da'wah,[1] a charity organization that is widely considered to be a cover organization for militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). India considers him one of its most wanted terrorists because of his alleged ties with Lashkar-e-Taiba and its involvement in attacks against India.[2] The United Nations declared Jama'at-ud-Da'wah a terrorist organisation in December 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader.[3] According to Hafiz Saeed, he has no links with LeT.[4][5]
Lashkar-e-Taiba (Urdu: لشکرطیبہ [ˈləʃkər eː ˈt̪ɛːjbaː]; literally Army of the Good, translated as Army of the Righteous, or Army of the Pure)[2][6][7] — also transliterated as Lashkar-i-Tayyaba, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, Lashkar-i-Taiba, Lashkar Taiba or LeT — is one of the largest and most active militant Islamist terrorist organizations in South Asia, operating mainly from Pakistan.
It was founded by Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and Zafar Iqbal[8][9] in Afghanistan.[10] With its headquarters based in Muridke, near Lahore in Punjab province of Pakistan,[6] the group operates several training camps in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.[3]
