Islamabad: The preliminary investigations into the attack on Sri Lankan cricket team have suggested that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)activists, who went underground after a crackdown on the group last year, could have carried out the assault.
The initial probe suggested that a group of `headstrong` LeT activists, who went underground and hid in the garrison city of Rawalpindi after the crackdown on the terrorist group and its front organisation Jamaat-ud-Dawah, had acted on its own and carried out the attack, the Dawn newspaper quoted its sources as saying.
