Israel lists Lashkar-e-Taiba as terror outfit to mark 15th year of Mumbai attacks
India TodayWith just a few days to the 15th anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, the Israeli government has listed Lashkar-e-Taiba as a terrorist organisation. “To symbolise the marking of the 15th year of the commemoration of the Mumbai terror attacks, the state of Israel has listed Lashkar-e-Taiba as a terror organisation,” the Israeli embassy in Delhi said in a statement. The embassy said that “despite not being requested by the Government of India to do so”, Israel has “formally completed all necessary procedures and has satisfied all required checks and regulations to the result of introducing LeT into the Israeli list of illegal terror organisations”. The 26/11 Mumbai attacks were a series of terrorist attacks that took place in November 2008, when 10 members of LeT carried out 12 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks lasting four days across Mumbai.
