Expressing apprehension that the United States is being "taken for suckers" and "looked at as patsies" by Pakistan, two American lawmakers on April 6 called for strengthening ties with India even as a White House report gave a harshly critical assessment of Islamabad's effort to defeat extremism, reports Times of India. "After 10 years of hearing the same sales pitch I tend to doubt it. I doubt that our money is buying anything that's deep or durable," New York Congressman Gary Ackerman said at a hearing. "I doubt the leaders in the Afghanistan Government and the Pakistani Government are going to do anything except pursue their own narrow, venal self interests. I doubt the ISI will ever stop working with us during the day and going to see their not-so-secret friends in the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) or Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and other terrorist groups at night."In addition, his California colleague Dana Rohrabacher went even further back to frame the situation in a historical context. "I've been hearing that for 50 years. And I will tell you, a realistic relationship, rather than basing the relationship on wishful thinking, is what will bring about peace in that part of the world. What we've had is wishful thinking and what I call irrational optimism," he said at a hearing called to assess U.S foreign policy priorities in South Asia. Still, administration officials defended Washington's outreach to Pakistan, insisting that the country is vital to US national security interests and suggesting the U.S had no other options. But lawmakers were not convinced. Both Rohrabacher and Ackerman, who described U.S ties with New Delhi as the "one shining light" and "brightest light" respectively of the administration's foreign policy pressed for greater emphasis on India. "I would hope that we have the intelligence to work and to make sure that India is our best friend in that part of the world," Rohrabacher said, offering his contrast between the two countries. "The fact is that Pakistan is committed to Islam...India is dedicated to prosperity for their people."

The use of terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) by Inter Services Intelligence came in for a lambasting at the House of Representatives during a hearing on April 6 on foreign policy priorities and needs amidst economic challenges in South Asia, reports The Hindu. In a well-attended hearing at the Rayburn Building on Capitol Hill, members of the Congress pressed top Obama administration officials on the core question of why, after USD 20 billion had been pumped into Pakistan over the last decade and over a billion dollars had been supplied under the Kerry-Lugar-Berman bill, anti-American sentiment in Pakistan was still so strong. Putting it bluntly, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Steve Chabot, Republican of Ohio, said, “The question is basically we spent all this money and they still hate us. What should we do about that?” Congressman Chabot also added that despite efforts “the fact remains that Pakistani and U.S. strategic interests diverge on certain issues — especially those concerning Islamist terrorist groups like LeT, which the Pakistani ISI continues to view as a strategic asset vis-a-vis India.”

The Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD) ‘chief’ Hafiz Mohammad Saeed made a rare public appearance in Islamabad on April 11 to lead the funeral prayers for Kashmiri leader Maulvi Showkat Ahmed Shah, killed in Srinagar, and used the occasion to rubbish the India-Pakistan cricket diplomacy while vowing for a “jihad” in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Indian Express. In a provocative speech, Saeed, the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, claimed the movement in Kashmir would serve as an example for “Muslims in Hyderabad and Junagarh who want independence from the oppression of Hindus”.

A high ranking US General, Admiral Robert Willard, Head of the US military’s Pacific Command, expressed concern to Congress on April 12 about the expanding reach of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), warning it was no longer solely focused on India or even South Asia, reports Dawn. LeT, one of the largest and best-funded extremist militant outfits in the region is blamed for the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai, which killed 166 people in India’s commercial capital. The outfit was nurtured by Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to fight India in Kashmir, and analysts say it is still unofficially tolerated even though Islamabad banned the outfit nearly a decade ago. Admiral Willard, told the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that the United States was actively working with South Asian Governments including Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives and India to contain LeT. But he cautioned that the group was active elsewhere. “Unquestionably they have spread their influence internationally and are no longer solely focused in South Asia and on India,” Willard told the Senate Armed Services Committee. The United States has evidence of LeT’s presence in Europe and the broader Asia-Pacific region, he added. In the past, LeT has fielded militants in Canada and in the United States. India continues to be LeT’s main target. But Willard noted that the outfit has declared holy war against the United States and renewed longstanding concerns in Washington about attacks by LeT militants against US forces in Afghanistan.

Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) on April 13 said that it will give new talks with India a chance but had little faith they will succeed and believe it is only a matter of time before they will have to fight again, reports Daily Times. For now, many of them are engaged in peaceful pursuits such as small businesses, teaching or social welfare, and they face severe Pakistani restrictions on crossing Line of Control (LoC) separating Azad Kashmir (Pakistan occupied Kashmir) and Indian held Kashmir. “We have not given up jihad, but are just giving another chance to talks,” Abdul Aziz Alvi, JuD ‘chief’ in Azad Kashmir said. “If India does not understand the language of negotiation, then guns will start speaking,” Alvi said as he was attending a protest rally against Indian plans to build dams in its part of Kashmir.

Times of India on April 25 quoted Army Major General Athar Abbas saying "There is no evidence that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has global aspirations or was involved in the 2009 attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul,” adding, “The LeT is a banned group that is being contained, and there is also no evidence with Pakistani authorities linking the LeT to militant groups operating in Pakistan's tribal areas. At the same time, Abbas said, “militant commander Ilyas Kashmiri, described by Indian and US officials as a key suspect in the Mumbai terror attacks, had played an "instrumental" role in planning an attack on the Pakistan Army's General Headquarters in Rawalpindi in October 2009. Kashmiri was also involved in two attempts to assassinate former President and Army Chief General Pervez Musharraf in late 2003,” adding, “Kashmiri, who led a "splinter" group or breakaway faction of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), was working with the local Taliban. Earlier this month, the US announced a reward of five million dollars for anyone who provides information and helps in the arrest of Kashmiri, the commander of Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HuJI) terror group that supports al Qaeda. Speaking on the issue of 2008 Mumbai attack in India, Abbas said, "A splinter group was involved and we have collected the maximum evidence, LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi was heading the splinter group responsible for the terrorist assault in November 2008.”

Four more Pakistani conspirators have been charged by US prosecutors with carrying out the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks on behalf of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Indian Express reported on April 26. In a second superseding indictment filed by the federal prosecutors before a court in Chicago, the four were identified as Sajid Mir, Mazhar Iqbal, Abu Qahafa and one by the name of 'Major Iqbal'. Besides, the indictment mentioned an unnamed individual "Lashkar Member D." All are residents of Pakistan. The four persons identified were previously mentioned but not named in the indictments that charged Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley and Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Rana in connection with the Mumbai attacks which killed 166 people, including six Americans. Sajid Mir was associated with LeT and supervised others linked with the outfit. He served as a "handler" for Headley, who has confessed to his involvement in Mumbai attacks, and others who were directed to carry out actions relating to planning, preparing for and carrying out the terrorist strikes on behalf of LeT. While Abu Qahafa was an associate with LeT who trained others in combat techniques for use in terrorist attacks; Mazhar Iqbal and 'Lashkar Member D' were LeT commanders. An individual known as 'Major Iqbal' participated in planning and funding attacks carried out by LeT in Mumbai, federal prosecutors said. According to the indictment, Sajid Mir, Abu Qahafa and Mazhar Iqbal conspired with each other, Headley, 'Lashkar Member D' and others known and unknown to the grand jury, to deliver, place, discharge and detonate explosives and other lethal devices in, into and against places of public use, state and government facilities, public transportation systems and infrastructure facilities in India.

The Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD) ‘chief’ Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, mastermind of the 26/11 attacks, on April 25 claimed India cannot prove his organisation's link to the 2008 terror strike and accused the Pakistan Government of succumbing to pressure from India and the US, reports Indian Express. Saeed, who is the founder of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) which carried out the Mumbai attack, said India had sent a 400-page report to the Pakistani Government in an attempt to substantiate its claims but had failed to do so, Saeed said. India cannot prove JuD's link to Mumbai attacks, he said.

Western powers must be firm with Pakistan about its need to crack down on extremists, but there is no alternative to continuing to work with Islamabad, British Member of Parliament (MP) David Miliband said on April 29, reports Dawn. Miliband voiced alarm at the influence inside Pakistani society of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). “We should be engaging with Pakistan” he said at the Council on Foreign Relations. Pakistan needs to do more to hold assailants for the Mumbai attack accountable and if Lashkar-e-Taiba is expanding its reach, “then we need to be even more insistent on the need to roll up that infrastructure,” he said. But Miliband called on the US along with the South Asian nation’s neighbours to keep trying to engage both politically and economically. “One of the most chilling things I’ve heard and read over the last few months is that America has a choice about whether or not to sever its links with Pakistan. Because if you think it difficult, frustrating, enervating, dangerous dealing with Pakistan at the moment as a partner, try fulfilling your own interests in South Asia without Pakistan as a partner,” he said.
