ABSTRACT
The Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), with the active and comprehensive support of the Inter-Services Intelligence, orchestrated the Mumbai attacks. This chapter tries to rely as much as possible on authentic news reporting, government reports, court materials and authenticated personal interviews. Using these sources, it attempts to dissect the LeT by way of cross-checking available information and by using conventional knowledge to arrive at a conclusion. The LeT, with its multiple attacks on India in general and the Mumbai attacks in particular, brought India to its knees. Al-Qaeda, the LeT and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan are the primary global terror groups in Pakistan. Al-Qaeda and the LeT's global ambitions are well known and their terror acts are also manifestly covered in most part of the globe. But the most wanted terrorist list published by the Federal Investigation Agency carries the name of only one obscure terrorist from the LeT.
