Mansoorian is the new name of Lashkar-e-Taiba, an outlawed Pakistan-based guerrilla group. Islamabad denies India's allegations that it fuels the 15-year-old revolt in Kashmir, but says it provides moral and diplomatic support to Kashmiri "freedom fighters". Last month, New Delhi began to pull out a small number of its over 400,000 troops in Kashmir, citing a fall in incursions from Pakistan and a drop in guerrilla attacks. About 45,000 people have been killed in the revolt which began in 1989. --SP 2006 Local Time 1706 GMT
