With offers of donations and assistance in the wake of Hurricane Sandy pouring in, an unlikely person has reached out his hand to those slammed by the massive storm.

His name is Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, and he’s one of the United States’ five most wanted terrorists on earth.

In the 1980s Saeed founded Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani militant group that the U.S. accuses of being responsible for the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack that killed 166 people. Saeed denies the allegation.

He now runs the charitable wing of the group, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which has worked on disaster relief efforts in other countries. In 2001 Jamaat-ud-Dawa was labeled a terrorist group by the U.S., and there is currently a $10 million reward for Saeed’s capture.
