New Delhi, Jul 3 (IBNS) : Syed Salahuddin, the US-designated "global terrorist", has admitted to a Pakistani television channel that his outfit Hizbul Mujahideen has carried out terror attacks in India.

In an interview to Pakistan’s Geo News, Salahuddin has also admitted that organisation gets funding from the  Pakistan Government, media  reports said.

Salahuddin also said that he had plans to carry out more operations, but scenario changed after the 9/11 attacks.

 He claimed that he can carry out terror attacks as he has enough support within India.  

Salahuddin's statement  comes two days after he said at a Saturday rally in Muzaffarabad that his "fighters' attacks were on legitimate military targets as opposed to civilians", as was reported by Pakistani newspaper Nation.

On Saturday, Salahuddin had said that the ‘idiotic’ US decision designate him a global terrorist will not make any difference to the ‘legitimate struggle for freedom of Jammu and Kashmir’.

According to media reports, during the public rally Salahuddin was being guarded by Pakistani troops.

He described as "idiotic" the move by the Donald Trump administration to designate him a global terrorist, saying it's purpose was to please and satisfy’ Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
