A top UN official said Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) may target India again to increase tension between the two neighbours.

Let is said to be responsible for a series of terror attacks in India including the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

Coordinator of the UN Security Council's Al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Monitoring Committee Richard Barrett said "Lashkar-e-Toiba tactics are quite obvious. It is trying to increase tensions between India and Pakistan at a time when they and their associates are particularly under pressure in western Pakistan."

Barrett had a joint press conference with the Chairman of the Security Council's Al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee, Thomas Mayr-Harting, the Austrian Ambassador.

Barret also said that the Let also have operational links with Taliban.

"They may do that again," Barrett said, adding that "this is the real risk".

He also said that LeT attacks have taken place in Lahore, which is hardly in the tribal areas, and even Pakistani soldiers in Kashmir had been attacked. "I think, these groups are real concern to Pakistan.
