| Lashkar denies role in cricket attack |
| 2009-03-07 |
| Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LT) rejected on Friday media reports that it was involved in an attack on a visiting Sri Lanka cricket squad in Lahore. "These media reports are false ... and baseless," said LT spokesman Abdullah Ghaznavi. "The attack on Sri Lanka's team was an attack on Pakistan's sovereignty and Kashmiris could never even think of that," said Ghaznavi. "The attack is the handiwork of Indian agencies to defame Pakistan and bring instability to the country," said Ghaznavi. |

| #2 "Knowing" that RAW had an attack team in place, a busload of guards was all that Pakistan assigned? Why, it's as if they wanted the attack to succeed! |

| #1 The disclosure by the interior ministry followed the leak of a "secret" report which warned the federal and provincial Punjab governments that India was planning an attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team. The report, dated Jan 22, warned officials: "It has reliably been learnt that RAW [the Research and Analysis Wing, India's intelligence agency] has assigned its agents the task to target Sri Lankan cricket team during its current visit to Lahore, especially while travelling between the hotel and stadium or at hotel during their stay ... Extreme vigilance and heightened security arrangements indicated." |
