NEW DELHI, July 28: India has been warned by its intelligence agencies that the Lashkar-i-Tayyaba could target its nuclear installations, National Security Adviser M. K. Narayanan said on Friday.
“There is information that may be one of our atomic energy installations could be the target,” he told CNN-IBN news channel.
“It’s LiT (Lashkar-i-Tayyaba) operation... it is a very serious threat,” he said.
India has pointed a finger at the Lashkar-i-Tayyaba – a rebel group active in occupied Kashmir – for a series of bomb attacks on commuter trains in Mumbai on July 11 that killed 183 and wounded more than 800.
The group, however, has denied responsibility for the blasts.
New Delhi also blames the group for a deadly attack on its parliament complex in December 2001 that brought India and Pakistan to the brink of their fourth war.—AFP
