India has refused from the USA’s offer on carrying out of joint secret operations against insurgents of Lashkar-e-Taiba’s (LeT) terrorist grouping, operating in state of Jammu and Kashmir. The refusal has followed in spite of the fact that actions of this organization create the most serious threat to the safety of India.
As it has been published in today’s “Times of India” issue, Indian special services sources explain this decision by reasons of national safety and negative experience from contacts with the American colleagues-professionals.
It has also been emphasized, that refusal of interaction with the prospecting US organizations is caused by fears of probable attempts of Washington to rehire employees of the Indian special services and to make them flight to America. Similar precedents have already taken place in the recent past.
As “Times of India” quote, India and the USA are now far from carrying out of joint operations including penetration into terrorist groupings.
As the Indian newspaper writes, LeT carries out functions of Al-Qaeda’s “representative” in India. Indian and American special services approve that its insurgents are involved in last, to the bloodiest, acts of terrorism in the Indian Territory.
LeT is an extremist grouping and it is considered as the militarized wing of the Pakistan fundamentalist radical organizations.
LeT was established in 1980; however it started its harmful activity in India since 1993. Pakistan experts quote that in the end of 90th, the group was one of the most influential among militarized organizations.
The grouping proclaims the uniting of Moslems all over the world. The majority of its members have experience of operations in Afghanistan.
