Bush. The Baron Nazir Ahmed, a life peer of the House of Lords, placed the bounty in response to the US bounty on Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, the head of Islamist terror organization Lashkar-e-Taiba. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.co.uk\/2012\/04\/15\/lord-ahmed-puts-10m-bounty-on-capture-of-obama-and-bush_n_1427043.html\">HuffPo is reporting<\/a> that Labour has since suspended his membership in the party. The Baron Ahmed is the first Muslim life peer in the House of Lords. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll be interesting to see the results of this investigation. Booting a life peer from the House of Lords is incredibly difficult and he&#8217;s a darling of the radical anti-war left. If it can be substantiated he said what he&#8217;s accused of saying and he really did place a unilateral bounty on the head of two US Presidents I&#8217;m even more interested to know what the Obama administration&#8217;s response will be. Being an election year we could even see the notoriously flexible Obama find some spine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In what has historically been seen as an act of war, a left-wing Labour Party member &hellip; <a title=\"Member of British government puts bounty on US Presidents\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=29517\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Member of British government puts bounty on US Presidents<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":619,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,83,9,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-breaking-news","category-foreign-policy","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/619"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29517\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
