Hafiz Saeed's son, son-in-law among 265 JuD candidates in Pak elections

Mumbai-terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed's son and his son-in-law are among 265 candidates fielded by the Jamaat-ud -Dawah for national and provincial assembly seats across Pakistan in the July 25 general election, with the banned group's political wing vowing to make the country a "citadel of Islam."
MML President Saifullah Khalid said that his party would not leave vacuum in July 25 elections for the secular forces as the country was "created in the name of Islam."
According to the US Treasury Department: "Qari Muhammad Yaqoob Sheikh, a member of LeT's central advisory committee, has held several different leadership positions in the group since 2006. Sheikh has served as a leader in LeT's foreign affairs department since 2006, including acting as the department's deputy director of political and foreign affairs between 2008 and 2009."
