The data base used is incomplete and inconclusive; it does not provide the researchers with the clear answers they were looking for. The only things you get to know from all this show-off-anti-terror research are:
1. Lashker-i- Tayba exists and is involved in disputed Kashmir
2. the recruits are mostly from Punjab and are young
These are already known facts, thus the research dose not add any information and is largely a failed attempt from a South Asian point of view.
Moreover, It fails to prove the starting hypothesis that LeT is going global by recruiting westerners. But, the most important question it begs is LeT role inside Indian borders: in fact the data base proves that no such activity was carried out by LeT.
The concluding analysis is extremely weak and biased from our point of view: after repeating Indian accusation against the LeT in the beginning, the researchers failed to prove any thing and remained silent about the recruitment of the Westerners and LeT role inside Indian border (which is proven nil)
