Washington recently announced it was offering a reward of $10 million for information that would lead to the arrest of Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba group who are widely suspected of organising the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 166 people died. That has drawn a counter offer: a bounty of $10 million for the capture of President Obama and his predecessor, George Bush. What's remarkable is that offer is being made by a senior British politician called Lord Ahmed. We're joined by Rob Watson from our partner the BBC.

he has his freedom of speech and must thank God for having it.
he must also know there are consquences for being stupid and
lacking tact. i hope someone there puts a bounty on his head
and your next article re this scumbucket is that he is dead.
btw, i hate former prez bush the monkey.
The snarky, jokey way this story was covered is horrid. A British politician who is Muslim and has enough followers to get himself repeatedly elected sides with terrorists over the US President does not seem to be a laughing matter.
