Lahore, Mar. 9: The United States has expressed its concern over the presence of the outlawed terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba’s (LeT) on its soil.
US intelligence agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), are alarmed over evidence of continued LeT’s presence on US soil, including back-up cells in Pakistan, especially after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
According to sources, officials are of the view that LeT’s global nexus may prove more dangerous for the security of US than al-Qaeda.
Former Deputy National Security Adviser for counter-terrorism, Juan Zarate also admitted that LeT has bases across the world, including the United States.
