Lashkar-e-Taiba caught the world’s attention during the Mumbai massacre in 2008 when terrorists trained by the Jihadist group funded by Osama bin Laden unleashed a wave of violence across the Indian city that killed over 150 people including six Americans.
After murdering Americans and scouting potential targets in the United States, including a chemical plant and the Capitol Building, harboring the 1993 World Trade Center bombing operative and a terrorist who opened fire at CIA headquarters, the Islamic terror group is now arming its men with the weapons that Biden abandoned to the Taliban in Afghanistan.
NBC News reported that police in India’s Kashmir region found that Jihadis are “carrying M4s, M16s and other U.S.-made arms and ammunition that have rarely been seen in the 30-year conflict” due to a “regional flood of U.S.-funded weapons that fell into the hands of the Taliban”.
Beyond rifles, an Indian general had previously described “a spillover of high-tech weapons, night-vision devices and equipment, which were left by the Americans in Afghanistan.”
While the weapons and equipment pose a threat to India, they may also enable the Pakistani Jihadist group to pursue its longstanding ambition of staging an attack on the United States.
The House Homeland Security Committee had been previously warned that the Jihadist group poses a threat to the United States. It has not only killed Americans, but recruited them, giving the Muslim group extensive capabilities to carry out attacks inside this country.
During the Mumbai attacks, the American victims included Alan Scherr and his 13-year-old daughter Naomi, who were killed while eating at a restaurant.
The remaining Americans were murdered at a Chabad Orthodox Jewish outreach center.
Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivkah, along with two other Americans, were reportedly tied up and tortured before they were killed. A doctor said that, “it was so bad that I do not want to go over the details even in my head again.”
But that was not the only American link to the attacks.
David Coleman Headley, a Muslim terrorist born in America to a Pakistani diplomat and an American mother, had been trained by Lashkar-e-Taiba after 9/11, and scouted targets for the Mumbai attack: including the Jewish community center. Some of the terrorists carried SIM cards from the United States suggesting that there may have been more American Muslims involved.
Headley would later be charged in a terror plot against Jyllands-Posten: a Danish newspaper which had printed Mohammed cartoons that involved taking hostages and beheading them.
Lashkar-e-Taiba had a long history of recruiting Americans: including members of the Virginia Jihad Network. Ali Asad Chandia, a former Muslim Students Association president teaching at an Islamic school in Maryland, was charged with providing material support to the terror group. Ahmad Abousamra, a Muslim operating out of Mansfield, Massachusetts, had sought out Lashkar-e-Taiba before appearing on the FBI’s most wanted list as a key ISIS figure.
During the Virginia Jihad Network investigation, Masoud Khan, one of the men charged, revealed that the terror boss behind the Mumbai attack had asked them to conduct “information gathering” operations in the United States, specifically “an unnamed chemical plant in Maryland”: implying that the group was considering possible attack plots in the United States.
Syed Haris Ahmed and Ehsanul Sadequee, Pakistani and Bangladeshi immigrants operating in Georgia, were accused of making videos casing the Capitol Building in D.C. and other targets, and sent the videos to a facilitator for Lashkar-e-Taiba. Sadequee was convicted of conspiring to provide material support to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
After Mir Aimal Kansi, a Pakistani Muslim, opened fire at CIA headquarters in Langley, he hid out at a safe house constructed by Osama bin Laden at Lashkar-e-Taiba’s headquarters. That same safe house was alleged to have been used by 1993 World Trade Center bombing operative, Ramzi Yousef.
Figures linked to the terror group reportedly provided aid to shoe bomber Richard Reid and to the 2006 transatlantic plot to bomb airliners headed from the UK to America.
Now Lashkar-e-Taiba, and its partner terror group, Jaish-e-Mohammad, are heavily armed courtesy of Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal. And that may be the tip of the iceberg. The interwoven infrastructure of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Al Qaeda means that the latter will likely have access to whatever the former does. The central role of Lashkar-e-Taiba’s training camps in international Islamic terrorism also means that its weapons or technology will benefit Jihadists around the world. And while the weapons abandoned by Biden in Afghanistan will more immediately show up in the hands of nearby Jihadis like Lashkar-e-Taiba, with time they will spread further to the Middle East and North Africa. And, perhaps, eventually closer to home.
Biden’s destructive actions in Afghanistan not only cost American lives and destroyed our credibility, leading to new conflicts, they directly put weapons into the hands of Islamic terrorists.
For now, Indians are paying the price, but in time Americans will suffer for what Biden has done.

Hey man, your comment needs to be censored, I never fecked anythin up.
Mr. President.
Obviously, you’ve forgotten that Twitter is no longer a sycophantic tool to censor patriots.
(In retaliation, we are harassing Elon Musk for his crime of allowing free speech on the platform.)
On a happier note, Mark Zuckerberg is still on board for stifling patriots on FaceBook, and rigging the next election.
Daniel can join the dots but not the CIA FBI and their equivalents around the western world combined.
Dots are connected, nothing meaningful will be done about it.
The FBI and the CIA know everything I know and more.
Probably a large percentage of the weapons were sold on the black market.
And dipshit *Biden released Viktor Bout to help move them to where they can do us the most harm.
All we got in return was an America-hating bltch . . . folllowing in the footsteps of Obama’s incompetence that released FIVE top islamist terrorists for an America-hating traitor Bo Bergdahl.
The Left never misses an opportunity to pour salt in the wound and do as much damage as possible.
Biden’s boss, Obama, is not a Muslim, but he an Islamist. Those weapons were left in Afghanistan on purpose.
Many of the January 6th defendants were prosecuted with a seldom-used seditious conspiracy statute. Seditious conspiracy sounds a bit like treason.
Seditious conspiracy / treason could be used to prosecute MANY in congress and the executive branch as well as their conspirators in the administrative state and big corporations who give them cover.
Something about the goose and the gander.
In the word of the despicable Harry Reid, “it worked didn’t it”!! The entire “presidency” of the obiden bunglers has been nothing but DEATH and DESTRUCTION! It is a testament to the FOUNDING FATHERS that Our Nation has “survived” the last hundred years of coordinated destruction by the DEMOcrats/rinos! A “reckoning” needs to occur!
The Biden people seem a unique combo of evil and stupidity. It really is amazing.
Even as Biden wants to disarm al law abiding Americans their traitor a rms the enemy this should be grounds for Impeachment
Well how about that? Biden is doing his dandiest to remove and keep arms from law abiding American citizens while arming terrorists who want to destroy our way of life and doing it pro bono. Billion$ given away and we can’t even charge they sales tax.
That treasonous US “President” Joe Biden, has aided and new continues to support that murderous Taliban enemy conquer Afghanistan and even let the America and American people hating Taliban have new high quality US military equipment.
Likewise, Biden is a traitor to all the families and friends of those US soldiers, who had shed their blood, were killed and terribly maimed for life by the Taliban. For creepy traitorous old Joe just ‘gave away” Afghanistan to the Taliban.
Biden also has betrayed many Americans and the good Afghans who really aided the US military in the land by abandoning them all to the vicious and murderous Taliban
Furthermore, Biden really does not care about those thirteen Americans who died or the other American who died in Afghanistan because of either his incompetence or treasonous orders
Therefore , Joe Biden is very, obviously is ether completely incompetent and despicably treasonous. In the first or second case Biden should not have been allowed be enter the Office of the Presidency in the first place.
As that catastrophe, he created in Afghanistan and letting the Talban obtain may high quality US military equipment.
Roosevelt also, rightly, believed “a man holding that very important Office “should be sharply watch by the people [and] held to a strict accountability by them.”
True, although anyone likely to be elevated by the Democrats would be surrounded by the same people running the Biden administration.
Joe Biden had ordered the US pullout from Afghanistan that awful action of his that reveals the horrendous folly of his judgement in many wrong and tragic ways. As in, for example allowing the Taliban enemy to have all the state of the art high quality US military equipment.
After all the Americans who died and the many others who had been terrible wounded and over a trillion dollars of wasted American taxpayers money invested in that awful mayhem is also awful.
Another horrible consequence of Biden’s treachery in Afghanistan are all those unvetted Afghan /Muslims now spreading across the United States. If any Americans, in any way are harmed by some those unvetted Afghan “refugees” who might be either criminals or violent jihadists then Biden will have their innocent blood on his wicked hands.
Since the end of August and because of that despicable villain Joe Biden, has betrayed and abandoned many Americans and left them to in Afghanistan to be brutally murdered by the Taliban.
Americans have already been harmed by Afghans.
The only deaths thus far have been Afghan-on-Afghan Islamic violence, but Americans have been sexually assaulted.
What a shocker. No one saw this coming.
How do we spell Relief? I.M.P.E.A.C.H-J.O.E.-B.I.D.E.N.
