Context

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

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which was responsible for the Mumbai terrorist attack and other high-profile terrorist attacks in India over the past several years, remains one of the most potent terror group in South Asia, Admiral Samuel Locklear, the commander of the US Pacific Command (PACOM), told lawmakers during a Congressional hearing on April 9, reports Zee News. Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) remains one, if not the most operationally capable terrorist groups through all of South Asia, Admiral Samuel Locklear said. LeT was responsible for the November 2008 attack in Mumbai, India that killed over 160 people, including six Americans, and has supported or executed a number of other attacks in South Asia in recent years, he said. Beyond the direct impact of these attacks, there is a significant danger that another major terrorist attack could destabilise the fragile peace between India and Pakistan, Locklear told the Senators days after a report released by a US Army said that LeT continues to recruit the best and the brightest in Pakistan and are focused on Kashmir. Should the perpetrators of such an attack be linked back to Pakistan - as was the case in the 2008 attack - the Indian government may face domestic pressure to respond and the resulting spiral of escalation could be rapid. For those reasons, and more importantly to protect innocent lives, we and our partners in the US Government engage regularly with the Indians and Pakistanis to avert such a crisis, he said in his prepared remarks.
