Pakistan-based group behind Kashmir protests: India
[Dawn] India said on Wednesday a Pakistan-based militant group, blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, was behind violent anti-India protests sweeping the disputed Kashmir region in which 11 people have been killed. The anti-India demonstrations over nearly three weeks are among the biggest in two years and have spread to many parts of Kashmir, including Sopore."We think it is the Lashkar-e-Taiba which is active in Sopore," Indian Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told reporters after a meeting called by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to discuss the spiraling street violence. India has blamed Lashkar-e-Taiba militants for the Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people and derailed a sluggish four-year-old peace process with Pakistan. Posted by: Fred 2010-07-01 |
