Muzaffarabad: A leader of militant groups in Pakistan-administered Kashmir called the slaughter of civilians in Mumbai "reprehensible", and denied that any member of his alliance was involved.
Sayed Salahuddin heads the United Jihad Council, an umbrella organisation banding together around a dozen ethnic Kashmiri militant groups.
Suspicion has fallen on a non-member, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Though it fights for the Kashmiri cause, LeT was founded in the eastern Pakistani province of Punjab and mainly recruited Punjabis to its ranks.
"Let me be very clear once again that the United Jihad Council does not approve of civilian killings and under its code of conduct such an act is reprehensible," Salahuddin said.
"I can say with utmost certainty that none of Kashmiri jihadi groups has any involvement with the events in Mumbai," he said.
The targeting of Westerners and Jews as well as Indians supported views that the perpetrators subscribed to a global agenda.
