The biggest scoundrels and rascals, of the globe, like Trump and Modi, are incidentally, also the most "civilized" one.

Its good trash of the past should be brushed off. Todays Pakistan is a new leaf such dark reminders should not be riding on the back of camel.

Oh no, Trump knows all about Pakistan's past treacheries. But with this tweet he's offering to put it all behind, even to the extent of giving credit to the Pakistani gov't rather than himself. All Pakistan has to do is to truly renounce its role as protector and promoter of terror and all will be forgotten, maybe even forgiven.

Yes an offer cash starved Pakistan cannot refuse. Go ahead.

Clearly Trump is less of a scoundrel than his opponents. But I'm really worried about Modi. The sooner the U.S. can think good thoughts about Pakistan again the better...

Judge Orange ... didn't know US President is also an internationally recognised judge.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday hailed the arrest of Hafiz Muhammad Saeed — chief of the banned Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) — who India and Washington accuse of being the mastermind of the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks and have declared a global terrorist.

Trump, who didn't name Saeed, said: “After a ten-year search, the so-called 'mastermind' of the Mumbai Terror attacks has been arrested in Pakistan. Great pressure has been exerted over the last two years to find him!”

Saeed — who has a $10 million US bounty on his head — was taken into custody earlier in the day by counter-terrorism forces in a terror financing case. He has been sent to prison on judicial remand.

Trump's tweet comes days before Prime Minister Imran Khan’s scheduled visit to Washington on July 22.

The tweet refers to a "10-year search" although Saeed's whereabouts were known to the authorities in Pakistan.

Saeed was previously placed under house arrest in January 2017. He, however, was released in November the same year after a court rejected the government’s plea for a 60-day extension in his house arrest.

“The Pakistani government should make sure that he is arrested and charged for his crimes,” the State Department had said hours after Saeed’s release.

“The United States is deeply concerned that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leader Hafiz Saeed has been released from house arrest in Pakistan,” the department had said, adding that “LeT is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organisation responsible for the death of hundreds of innocent civilians in terrorist attacks, including a number of American citizens”.

The US Treasury Department branded the LeT chief a Specially Designated Global Terrorist in May 2008 and in December 2008, the United Nations also designated him a “terrorist individual”. Both designations blamed him for the November 2008 Mumbai attack in which 166 people, including six American citizens, were killed.

Since 2012, the United States has offered a $10 million reward for information that brings Saeed to justice

He was house arrested for two years so he is not finally found but finally shown arrested by the Pakistani authority.
I think PM Imran Khan will use this "measures " against terrorism for releasing fund for Pakistan to get the A-1Z viper and get more F-16 .

"Great pressure has been exerted over the last two years to find him!"

That's just basically him saying "Look! I achieved in 2 years what Obama couldn't in his entire 2 terms". Don't read too much into it. He's most likely just playing to his domestic audience.

What I gather from the demeanor of Trump, is that, at some point in life, he has been a professional pimp of whores.

I don't understand why Pakistanis here dislike Trump. He is only appreciating Pakistani authorities for finally arresting the terrorist and submitting him to rule of law. If he is innocent, he will go free. But this cat and mouse game of fake arrests should stop now.

I understand you are claiming Pakistani hostility to America's stated goal of a peace agreement and an end the conflict in Afghanistan.
