Party suspends British peer over Obama 'bounty'
[Emirates 24/7] Britannia's Labour Party on Sunday suspended peer Nazir Ahmed over reports that he offered a £10 million ($15.9 million, 12.1 million euros) bounty for the capture of US President Barack Obama
Why can't I just eat my waffle?...

The Lord also offered a similar incentive for the capture of former US president George Bush in response to a US reward for the capture of suspected terrorist Hafiz Muhammad Saeed
...who would be wearing a canvas jacket with very long sleeves anyplace but Pakistain...
, according to Pakistain's Express Tribune newspaper.

Saeed, who founded the Death Eater group Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
, is wanted for the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which 166 people were killed.

"We have suspended Lord Ahmed pending investigation," a Labour spokeswoman said.

"If these comments are accurate we utterly condemn these remarks which are totally unacceptable.

"The international community is rightly doing all in its power to seek justice for the victims of the Mumbai bombings and halt terrorism."

#3 Bobby,

Muslims nationwide will collect money outside mosques for the £10 million needed.

A friend of mine told me some mosques are still collecting money for the Taliban and the Govt know it.
