Pakistani Involvement with Indian Attacks

By: Mike Bozee

There is reason to believe that Pakistan was involved with last year's attacks in Mumbai, India. A senior Pakistani official recently admitted that some of the planning for these attacks took place in Pakistan. Officials are already at work with prosecuting suspects, in that members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group are being held. However, Pakistan denied responsibility shortly following the attacks.

The Indian government is relieved about Pakistan's recent admission of its role in the attacks last year, and it is surprised at the Pakistani government's change to work at combating extremists groups within its own borders. In the perspective of the Western world, it is viewed that it view remain skeptical about Pakistan's commitment to control violent Islamic extremists located in Pakistan.
