Lashkar-i-Taiba "Army of the Pure" is a group that is trying to drive India from Kashmir and has been labeled a terrorist organization by the United States government.
On January 16 2004, Randall Todd Royer, age 30, of Falls Church, Virginia, pleaded guilty to federal weapons and explosives charges in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia. Royer is one of 11 men originally charged in the case. Another is Ibrahim Ahmed al-Hamdi, age 26, of Alexandria, Virginia. Both were said to be members of Lashkar-i-Taiba and were part of a group of men who played paintball in the Virginia countryside to prepare for jihad training that could have targeted the United States, according to government prosecutors.
