Outlawed Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which has been responsible for the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, is the most potent Pakistan-based terror groups, chief of an eminent American think-tank has said.
Unlike the other Pakistan-based terrorist outfits, LeT has been successful in recruiting professionals and highly educated individuals from urban centres in Pakistan, Steve Coll, president of the New America Foundation told US lawmakers at a Congressional hearing on Wednesday.
"Perhaps the most potent of these groups in the Pakistan-Afghan region is Lashkar-e-Toiba. It's an India-focused group, but along with splinters like Jaish-e-Muhammad, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and various cells that spin off from those, they've been able to recruit very talented operatives from educated classes in urban centres.
"I think this makes them distinctive in comparison to the Afghan Taliban for example," Coll said in his testimony before the House Armed Services Committee
