New Delhi: Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has issued a fresh threat to unleash a spate of suicide attacks in India and targets include Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee among others, reports Pakistani media.

Noted Pakistani weekly 'The Friday Times' quoted LeT chief Hafeez Saeed's taped speech, played at a mosque in Rawalpindi, as saying "Listen O (Atal Behari) Vajpayee, we are about to unleash a spate of suicide attacks. I have ordered my warriors to undertake this duty."

LeT also threatened Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, saying his days were numbered, the weekly reported.

In yet another sign of continued failure of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf to rein in the militants, Saeed said in his speech, "Listen O Musharraf! We shall not submit to you or your government…we will not allow you to besmirch the 'jihad'…"

The speech, which was in clear violation of Law, did not spare the US Ambassador to Pakistan Nancy Powell and said, "We cannot tolerate unholy presence of Nancy Powell… Pakistan should cleanse itself from her unholy existence."

Meanwhile, a former Army lieutenant general Nishat Ahmed warned that chances of war with India were ripe because Islamabad was not keeping its word.

"Cross-border infiltration is on. The government may not be supporting it but it is certainly looking the other way."
