Pakistan faces twin challenge as Lashkar-army rift deepens over US, Israel ties

New Delhi, May 28 (IANS) The Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has never revolted against the Pakistan establishment, is a changed outfit today. Indian Intelligence agencies have been stating that all is not well within the outfit, and the Pakistan establishment’s push to indulge the outfit in activities contrary to its ideology has only widened the rift further, the agencies have noted.

While Pakistan has firmly rejected the call to normalise relations with Israel under the accord, it said that it would not recognise the country until the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
