The recent terrorist attacks in Kashmir and Mumbai could damage the ongoing peace process with Pakistan, says India's Deputy Prime Minister. Lal Krishna Advani issued this warning on Thursday after a Pakistan-based extremist Islamic group, known as Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack in Kashmir on Wednesday. This attack, which left at least 4 dead, began when two assailants threw grenades and then took refuge in a hotel in the outskirts of Srinagar, near where the Indian Prime Minister was staying for a national conference. The incident ended with gunfire between the assailants and Indian soldiers who stormed the hotel. Indian investigators have stated that evidence from the two bomb explosions on Monday in Mumbai also points to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
