SRINAGAR, Jan 2 The militant outfit blamed for the Mumbai attacks rejected on Friday a report that one of its leaders had acknowledged the group's involvement in the carnage.
The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed officials, reported that Pakistani authorities had obtained a confession from a senior member of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba.
“Lashkar-e-Taiba rejects the Wall Street Journal report,” its spokesman Abdullah Ghaznavi said in an email statement.
“India has failed to furnish any evidence of Lashkar-e-Taiba's involvement in the Mumbai attacks and America is now trying to help it out,” he said.
No evidence could be found “on the scene of the crime, and now there is an effort to manufacture evidence thousands of miles away”, he added.—AFP
