  • The British Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee in its report "Global Security: Afghanistan and Pakistan" held the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks. It noted that several major terror attacks across the world - including in London, Madrid and Bali, had origins in the tribal areas of Pakistan. The report quoted former CIA chief Mike Hayden as stating that the LeT had reached a ‘merge point’ with al-Qaeda. The report stated that a section of the Pakistani army and the ISI still held the view that "India, rather than the Islamic terrorists," were the main threat to the country1.
