A Profile of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET) - Pakistan
By Evan Kohlmann
The United Nations has finally announced the designation of the Pakistani terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba [LET] (a.k.a. "The Army of Medina", "The Army of the Pure and Righteous") under UN resolution 1267 for connections to Al-Qaida, the Taliban, and Usama Bin Laden. Over the past two decades, the virulently anti-American founders of LET--including a well-known Saudi Al-Qaida member--have allowed their organization to serve as a recruiting and training mechanism for foreign terrorists based in Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, and Kashmir--including several American, British, and Australian Muslim converts.
