Militants vow to fight India
by shammy Wed Dec 17, 2008 12:01 pm
THE Islamic militant group blamed for last month's attacks in Mumbai has vowed to continue its armed struggle against India's hold over a part of the Muslim-majority region of Kashmir.
A spokesman for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) repeated the group's denial that it was behind the Mumbai carnage, as Indian officials allege.
"Our fight for Kashmir's freedom will continue. It is our only agenda," LeT spokesman Abdullah Ghaznavi said in a telephone call to AFP's correspondent in Srinagar, the main city in Indian Kashmir.
He accused the Indian government of linking the "Kashmir freedom struggle with terrorism, to give legitimacy to its occupation of our land".
"We want to reassure the international community that we are not in any way involved in the Mumbai attacks. We strongly condemn such attacks," he said, calling on the United Nations to conduct an "impartial investigation into the evidence that India claims to have".
"Lashkar has no links with al-Qaeda and Taliban. Our group is active in Kashmir to end India's illegal occupation of Kashmir," he said.
