LeT threatens to strike at Vaishno Devi

November 26, 2012 21:32

An email threatening to target the cave shrine of Vaishno Devi was purportedly sent by the banned terror outfit Lashker-e-Tayiba to a hotelier in Katra to avenge the execution of 26/11 terror attack convict Ajmal Kasab, the police said today.

The email was received by A H Bhat, a hotelier of Devi Grand hotel, on November 24 threatening to target the shrine to avenge the hanging of Kasab, a senior police officer said tonight.

"Investigation is going on...We cannot rule out either of the two angles to it, one hoax, the other threat from the terror outfit," the officer said.
