New Delhi, July 04: Pakistan has been extending covert support to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) to carry out subversive activities globally after Taliban and its militant outfit al-Qaeda fell to the US-led War against Terror, according to a Home Ministry report.
Pakistan's ISI has reportedly been instrumental in providing LeT chief Hafeez Saeed with the services of former ISI chief Hamid Gul, a person who was instrumental in the creation of Taliban and al-Qaeda.

The directive to LeT was to concentrate their activities globally rather than in only a few countries, including India, the report said.
India has already detected four Lashkar cells outside Pakistan, including three in Gulf countries and one in the eastern neighbourhood, which was also used by the killers of former Gujarat home minister Haren Pandya. After the onset of War against Terror by the US-led forces, the ISI and the Pakistani regime made a complete U-turn against Taliban and attempted to create an image that it was against the use of its soil by terrorists.

The report, however, said that the ISI started providing covert support to LeT to carry out terrorist operations globally after the Pakistani regime started distancing itself from the al-Qaeda.
Indian security agencies have been highlighting misuse of Pakistani missions in other countries, including the Gulf for increasing militancy. This was being done by Islamabad to divert international attention from the camps running in remote areas of Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
