The head of a Pakistani charity group whom India and the US accuse of masterminding the 2008 terror attacks on Mumbai, has dismissed new American sanctions on his organisation.
In an interview with the BBC, Hafiz Saeed said the US was only targeting Jamaat-ud Dawa to win India's help in Afghanistan.
The US says the self-declared charity is a front for militant group Lashkar-e Toiba and has offered a $10m (£5.87m) reward for the arrest of Mr Saeed.
The Mumbai attack by Pakistani gunmen left 166 people dead.
The BBC's Andrew North went to meet Hafiz Saeed.   bbc

Κεφαλονίτικα ανέκδοτα Συζητούν τρεις παπάδες, ένας από το Αγιο όρος, ένας από την Αθήνα και ένας Κεφαλονίτης για το πως κατανέμουν τα έσοδα των εκκλησιών τους. Λέει ο παπάς από το Αγιο όρος: «Εγώ Πετάω στον αέρα όλα τα νομίσματα και όσα έρθουν κορώνα είναι του Θεού και τα δίνω για τις ανάγκες της εκκλησίας και όσα έρθουν γράμματα είναι δικά μου». Λέει ο Αθηναίος παπάς: «Και εγώ πετάω τα νομίσματα στον αέρα και όσα σταθούν όρθια είναι του Θεού και της εκκλησίας, όσα πέσουν στο πλάι (κορώνα ή γράμματα) είναι σαφώς δικά μου». Και στο τέλος ο Κεφαλονίτης ο παπάς: «Εγώ κύριοι συνάδελφοι κάνω το ίδιο που κάνετε και εσείς με πιο απλές διαδικασίες για να μη χάνουμε και χρόνο. Πετάω στον αέρα όλα τα νομίσματα. Όσα θέλει τα κρατάει ο Θεός και όσα πέσουν κάτω είναι δικά μου!» Είναι ένας Κερκυραίος, ένας Κεφαλλονίτης κι ένας Λευκαδίτης, που ξεμονάχιασαν, κάπου σ' ένα αραχνιασμένο, σκοτεινό υπόγειο ένα λυχνάρι, απ' αυτά τα μυστήρια με τα τζίνια. Το τρίψανε και ξεπετάχτηκε το τζίνι. «Έχετε ο...

EPA/OLIVER KILLIG Croatia: ‘Ionian Adriatic Pipeline is top priority’ by Kostis Geropoulos 27/09/2013 - 7:40pm in Share ATHENS – The Ionian Adriatic Pipeline (IAP) is a top priority among all the regional pipeline projects for Croatia, the country’s deputy economy minister told New Europe.
