Musharraf also said he was appreciative of the man thought to be the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks -- LeT co-founder Hafeez Saeed
Pervez Musharraf has said that he is banned terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba's (LeT) "biggest supporter" and that he is aware that they "like" him too.
In an interview with Pakistan's ARY News, Musharraf said that he is similarly appreciative ofLeT co-founder and the man thought to be themastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks Hafiz Saeed.
Musharraf was quoted as saying Saeed "is involved in Kashmir" and that he "supports" that involvement.
Hafiz Saeed is aUnited Nations-designated terrorist who was freed from house arrest last week on an order of Lahore high court.
The US also branded Saeed a terrorist and put a $10 million bounty on Saeed's head after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack. Musharraf claimed Saeed was not involved in the Mumbai terror attack in 2008 because Saeed "himself denied the charges" of being the attacks' mastermind.
Musharraf was declared a fugitive from justice by Pakistan in August this year.
