LeT bigger threat to US than Qaeda: US Intelligence

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.

Irony for Lankans who helped hosts

The grimmest issue for cricket could be the future of the 2011 World Cup, which was to be jointly hosted by India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. With players and governments from across the cricket world ranged against playing in Pakistan, the World Cup itinerary may have to be restructured, with Pakistan out of the scheme of things.
