Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has identified as many as 320 targets across the globe, 20 of which are in India, US Congressman Gary Ackerman said, reports Times of India. In the wake of the (26/11) Mumbai attack, investigators uncovered in controller records and e-mail accounts a list of 320 locations worldwide deemed by the LeT as possible targets for attack. Only 20 of the targets were located within India, Gary Ackerman said before a Congressional hearing last week. The LeT has been attacking US forces in Afghanistan almost from day one and their forces are present throughout Afghanistan. The LeT has been slaughtering Indians by the score for decades. The LeT has put the world on notice that they intend to escalate the carnage and spread it worldwide, he said. Noting that it would be unfair and wrong to suggest that the LeT problem is strictly confined to Pakistan and Middle East, he said, adding in fact, one of the key facilitators of the Mumbai attack was an American of Pakistani extraction, referring to David Coleman Headley. Unfortunately, the LeT enjoys a substantial global network stretching from the Philippines to the United Kingdom, Ackerman added.
