LT denies role in India blasts
Lashkar-e-Taiba was not involved in a series of orchestrated bombings across India, a spokesman said on Sunday. Lashkar-e-Taiba said it only wanted to kill Indian troops in Kashmir, not to kill civilians in Indian cities. The denial came after the Indian police said that Lashkar-e-Taiba was backing the previously unknown Indian Mujahideen, which claimed responsibility for serial blasts in several cities including attacks in New Delhi on September 13. "It is a propaganda to discredit us," Lashkar-e-Taiba spokesman Abdullah Ghaznavi told AFP. "Such attacks are not right, Islam does not permit the killing of innocent people," he added. "We are fighting for the freedom of Kashmir and we will fight until we achieve our goal."Posted by: Fred 2008-09-22 |
