Pak Needs to Act against LeT, Saeed: EU

Viewing the Pakistan-based terror group as an “obvious threat” to India and rest of the world, European Union has stressed the need for Pakistan should act against the Lashkar-e-Toiba, its frontal outfit JuD and its chief Hafiz Saeed as a “consequence” of a ban imposed by the UN Security Council.

EU Counter-Terrorism Coordinator Gilles de Kerchove said the civilian democratic government and army of Pakistan will have to get their “act together” to eliminate such threats emanating from that country.

“27 member states (of EU) fully understand and share the assessment that LeT is a very serious threat,” Kerchove was quoted as saying by PTI news agency.

Noting that LeT shares “global agenda” with al-Qaeda, the top EU official said LeT was “obvious threat for India and we are worried by that. It is a threat to us too.
