India accuses Pakistan-based group for assault on Hindu pilgrims

‘Indian police blamed a Pakistan-based militant group on Sunday for last month’s killing of eight Hindu pilgrims in the disputed Himalayan valley of Kashmir.
Inspector General of Police Muneer Ahmed Khan told reporters in Anantnag district in Indian-controlled Kashmir that a probe had concluded that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Kashmiri accomplices were behind the July 10 attack.
“Lashkar was involved and the accused have been identified,” Khan said, adding, “Once the investigation was started it was revealed that… a Pakistani militant of Lashkar along with two other militants and one local Kashmiri Lashkar militant carried out the attack.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, the police official said the militants had carefully plotted to attack any police or tourist vehicle that crossed their path on the evening of the assault. “They had kept separate code words for tourist and CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) vehicles… It was purely an act of terrorism carried out with an aim to spread fear.”‘
