Lashkar-e-Taiba vows to continue fight against India in H.Kashmir

The Islamic militant group blamed for last month's attacks in Mumbai vowed Tuesday 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 a foreign news agency's correspondent in Srinagar, the main city in Kashmir. He accused the Indian government of linking the "Kashmir freedom struggle with terrorism, to give legitimacy to its occupation of our land".
