| LeT a potent threat to US: Report |

Raised by Pakistan's ISI for its proxy operations against India, Lashkar-e-Taiba has now become the largest terror group operating in the sub-continent and it also poses a potent threat to the United States, an American think-tank has said.
"Its threat stems from the large and diverse pool of recruits willing and able to engage in acts of terrorism, its increasing cooperation with other global terrorist groups, and its ability to operate virtually unfettered by Pakistani authorities," said Washington-based Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) in its latest report on LeT.
It said while Americans may be shocked to see a naturalised citizen so deeply involved in wanton bloodletting, but the prosecution of David Headley is merely the latest in a string of cases tied to LeT since 2001.
"While all the cases vary in terms of targets and means, they are bound by Lashkar's willingness to train Westerners in violent jihad. And the threat is only exacerbated by the fact that Westerners are increasingly interested in joining ranks with Islamist militants," IPT said in its 51-page investigative report.
