LeT determined to attack India again: Report
Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, which masterminded the Mumbai terror mayhem on November 26, 2008, is ‘largely intact’ and is ‘determined to strike India again’, the New York Times reported quoting intelligence officials.
Despite Pakistan’s pledges to dismantle terrorist groups operating from its oil,, LeT has flourished. ‘In fact Lashkar’s broader network endures and can be mobilised quickly for elaborate attacks with relatively fewer resources, the report said adding that the LeT network spans entire Pakistan. In Karachi itself, it has four houses and two training camps.
According to NYT report, Lashkar’s network, though dormant, remains alive. The possibility that it could strike India again makes LeT a wild card in one of the most volatile regions of the world, the daily said.
Israel had also warned that militants were planning again a Mumbai-type attacks in India, targeting large concentration of Western and Israeli tourists. In the 26/11 attack, a Jewish prayer hall which also provided temporary shelter to visitiors from Israel was targetted and the prayer leader and his wife were killed.
