Lashkar-e-Taiba denied Wednesday killing two teenager sisters in held Kashmir in an attack that generated widespread outrage. The two women, aged 17 and 19, were killed in Sopore town, 55 kilometres (35 miles) north of occupied Srinagar, on Monday night when they were dragged from their house and shot dead.
"The police claim about the involvement of our activists in the killing of the sisters is baseless," a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) spokesman told reporters in occupied Srinagar by telephone. LeT is blamed by India for the attacks in Mumbai in November 2008 that left 166 people dead and hundreds injured.
