vIndianz.com (17 Feb, 2010) — Islamabad: Laskhar-e-Toiba Al Alami, a hitherto unheard terror outfit, on Tuesday claimed it carried out the Pune blast because of India’s ‘refusal’ to discuss the Kashmir issue with Pakistan.
The claim was made by a man who called an Islamabad-based correspondent of an Indian newspaper. The caller identified himself as Abu Jindal and described himself as the spokesman of the LeT Al Alami (International).
The caller claimed his group carried out the attack in Pune that killed ten people because of what he described as India’s ‘refusal’ to discuss the Kashmir issue in forthcoming talks with Pakistan.
He also said his group had split from the Laskher-e Toiba because it “took orders” from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency. The man said India’s ‘alliance’ with the US was another reason for the attack.
Asked if there were any other reasons, he said: “These are the only two reasons.” “Joh bhi
America ka ittehad hoga, hum uskey khilaf jang ladengey, chahey who India ho ya Pakistan (We will wage war against any ally of America, whether it is India or Pakistan),” the caller reportedly told the reporter, according to Press Trust of India.
