Srinagar: Pakistan-based militant outfit Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) on Sunday denied its involvement in last week's Varanasi blasts and said it had no connection with those arrested in Uttar Pradesh and Goa.
"The blasts at Varanasi were aimed at defaming 'jehad' in Kashmir," LeT spokesman Abu Huzaifa told Kashmir News Service(KNS), a local news agency, here.
He claimed that the blasts at public places in the country, including Jammu and Kashmir, were being engineered by "Indian secret agencies".
The LeT statement comes four days after a little-known group Lashkar-e-Kahar owned responsibility for the two blasts in Varanasi that claimed 20 lives and left over 50 others injured.
A caller introducing himself as Abu Feroz, a spokesman of the outfit, had contacted a private TV channel and claimed his outfit was responsible for the twin blasts.
