Pakistani terrorists may launch more Mumbai-style attacks, says U.S. official

U.S. lawmakers have been critical of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) its refusal to extradite to India's authorities the captured suspects who launched the deadly Mumbai attacks in 2008. Among the suspects India has identified is the leader of the November 26, 2008 attacks, LeT operations commander Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi.

Examples of recent major terror attacks include a coordinated series of bombings in market and temple areas of the tourist city of Jaipur, Rajasthan (May 2008), an attack on a government paramilitary facility in Uttar Pradesh (December 2007), coordinated bomb blasts at court facilities in three cities in Uttar Pradesh (November 2007), and an explosives blast in a cinema hall in Punjab (November 2007).

Leiter informed the lawmakers that the death and destruction that resulted from the Mumbai terrorist attack could happen anywhere. He also noted that while the LeT is not as well-known as al-Qaeda or Al Shabaab, it is still a "very destabilizing factor in the region."

"So even without striking in the U.S. or Europe, a further attack by the LeT in India would very much hurt our national security and our counter-terrorism interests in Pakistan," Leiter warned.
