The
US State Department 2011 Country
Reports on Terrorism unveiled
on July 31 has warned that “terrorist
opponents of better Indian-Pakistan
relations, such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba
(LeT),
have long planned to derail any
progress by launching new attacks,”
reports The Hindu. Lauding
India for increasing its counter-terrorism
capabilities and expanding its
coordination with the US through
the new Homeland Security Dialogue,
the State Department, however,
emphasised that the loss of over
1,000 lives still made India “one
of the world’s most terrorism-afflicted
countries and one of the most
persistently targeted countries
by transnational terrorist groups
such as LeT.” |
