Lashkar denies hand behind Mumbai, Srinagar carnage
 (KUNA) -- The Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) Tuesday night condemned and denied involvement in the Mumbai serial blasts and five grenade explosions in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir (JK). While at least 137 people were killed and 300 others injured in seven explosions in local trains in Western Indian city of Mumbai, eight tourists were killed and more than 40 injured in the Srinagar grenade blasts. In a telephonic statement to several media organisations in Srinagar, Lashkar spokesman Dr Abdullah Ghaznavi condemned in strongest terms, the serial blasts both in Mumbai and Srinagar, news agency United News of India reported. "These are inhuman and barbaric acts. Islam does not permit killing of an innocent person," he said. Dr Ghaznavi said those who have perpetrated such "dastardly acts were enemies of humanity''.
