Lashkar denies involvement in Mumbai terror attacks
November 27th, 2008 - 7:57 pm ICT by IANS - Send to a friend:Srinagar, Nov 27 (IANS) The Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant group Thursday denied it had any links with those who carried out the Mumbai terror strikes in which over 100 people were killed.A caller identifying himself as Dr. Abdullah Ghaznavi called the local office of the Zee TV network and said the LeT had no links with the terror group that had owned responsibility for the Mumbai terror strikes.
“Let (Lashkar-e-Taiba) condemns such acts and we have no link with those responsible for such acts.
“Linking us with the strikes in Bombay (Mumbai) is an attempt to malign the ongoing freedom struggle in Kashmir.
“We demand an independent international inquiry into the incident so that the truth comes out before the whole World,” the caller said.
In what is Mumbai’s worst terror attack, at least 101 people, including a foreign tourist and three top police officers, were killed and over 250 injured when terrorists struck in a series of planned and synchronised gunfire and bomb attacks in the heart of India’s financial capital late Wednesday.

There is absolutely no doubt that some powerful terror groups behind the Mumbai terror attack. The news reports Laskar-e- Toiba is the main suspect its main evidence comes from the captured terrorist’s (Ajmal Kasam) reported confession! However the “confessions” can not be considered enough or genuine evidence to arrest and expatriate the alleged person unless there is some concrete collaborative evidence to place it before the impartial (international) court of Justice!
So the main question is; do the intelligence agencies have any other concrete evidence in the form of record document signed by any of those known (or unknown) terror leaders ordering this attack? Perhaps it is unwise to expect such recorded documents of terror attacks. However believe it or not, there remain a possibility of a concrete recorded evidence of money transaction documents having the sign or the fingerprints (biometric identity) that can mistakably identify people who financed or supplied weapons an other logistical supports for this terrorist attack! Today there are two extraordinary IT anticorruption/antiterrorism technologies widely available that can record every money transactions along with the biological identity of the persons who conducting these money transaction WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT!
Let me present the two extraordinary anticorruption/antiterrorism IT solutions, which in my opinion can enable the Governments to concretely or physically track down, identify and capture the culprits behind the international money laundering, terrorist finance. Also the training, weapon and other logistic suppliers for the terror attack! The first one is ‘to Make Biometric Identity Mandatory or Compulsory In All Bank Accounts’ I name it as; Mandatory Biometric Identity (MBID). The second one is to ‘conduct all money transaction above a given amount only by the electronic money transaction through ones bank to the others bank account named Mandatory Electronic Money Transaction (MEMT). For more details search “IT To Root-Out Corruption”.
Among the two, the first “MBID in all bank account” is primarily important. It also very much feasible, more easier and less expensive compared to many other antiterrorism measures that exists or being proposed today. The MBID in all bank account policy (it includes buying of important security matters like credit cards, phones, weapons, drugs etc, in it) alone can significantly prevent the money laundering which is the main source of terrorist finance! If the MBID gets implemented first then the MEMT will inevitably follow sooner or latter.
Above all terrorism today is a Global phenomenon. So much so when it comes to international “money laundering” the main source of terrorist finance. Among others the illegal drug trade known to have close links with all of it. Therefore it is mainly the responsibility of worlds leading nations First of all to implement the MBID in all bank accounts in their countries to get rid of money-laundering so the terrorist finance and the rest of the world will follow the lead. What really needed is the “political will” to get it done.
