LeT denies it attacked Indian consulate in Afghanistan

"Wudn't us!"
[DAWN] Pakistain-based Death Eater group Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
(LeT) denied Monday that it was behind an attack last week by gunnies on an Indian diplomatic mission in Afghanistan, in a call to news agency AFP.

Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election.

claimed Monday that he had been informed by a Western intelligence agency that LeT was responsible for the assault on the Indian consulate in Herat

which left two coppers maimed.

"Hamid Karzai's claim is not based on truth. We condemn the attack," a man identifying himself as LeT front man Abdullah Ghaznavi said in a call to AFP's office in India-held Kashmire.

"Our operations are limited to Jammu and Kashmire alone, and these will continue until the dawn of freedom for the territory," he said from some holy man's guesthouse an undisclosed location.

AFP said the caller spoke in Urdu and rang from an unrecognised number.

The news agency says LeT have called them in the past to issue denials of their involvement in attacks.
