A top US Senator has said that former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf's admission that the country aided and trained terror groups like LeT is "not surprising" and the link between the 26/11 attackers and some elements in the Pakistani government cannot be credibly denied.


"I am not surprised...I think that the evidence about ties between some aspects of the Pakistani government with LeT in connection with the attack in Mumbai in 2008 is pretty hard to deny," said Senator Tim Kaine, an influential Democratic Senator in the two power Senate committees of foreign relations and armed service.


"When you get into the intel (intelligence information) and explore, you get the questions how high the ties were and how officially they were sanctioned. But there were definitely ties (between Pakistani government and LeT)," said Kaine who visited the 26/11 terror attack sites in Mumbai last October.


"The connection between those attackers and at least some elements in the Pakistani government, I do not think they can be credibly denied," Kaine told Defense Writers Group when asked about Musharraf's remarks that Pakistan supported and helped terrorist organisations like LeT.
