New outfit floated by LeT responsible for attack: Advani

Al Mansuriya, a new militant outfit floated by Lashkar-e-Tayiba, is responsible for Tuesday's attack on Amarnath pilgrims near Pahalgam, Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani said.

Talking to reporters after attending a meeting between a Congress delegation and Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Advani said of the 32 injured, 15 of those seriously wounded had been airlifted to Srinagar for treatment.

Stating that a high-level team of home ministry officials led by a special secretary had reached the site for an on-the-spot assessment of the situation, he asserted that the Amarnath yatra would continue.

Earlier, Minister of State for Home I D Swami told reporters that the team would also review security arrangements for the pilgrimage and these would be further tightened.
