Lashkar identifies suicide squad

By B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD, DEC. 23. The Pakistan-based militant organisation, Lashkar- e-Taiba, today officially claimed responsibility for the attack at the Red Fort in New Delhi late on Friday.

The Lashkar spokesman, Mr. Yahya Mujahideen, told The Hindu over phone from Lahore that two militants from Kashmir, Shabeer Ahmed and Syed Mohammad Ali, had carried out the attack. ``This is our first operation against an Indian military installation inside India. We would continue with such attacks till India decides to pull out its troops out of the Kashmir region.''
