BOMBAY, India (AP): Indian hockey star Dhanraj Pillay said
Thursday he was worried about a threat on his life by Islamic
militant group Lashkar-e-Tayyaba.

"I heard from the police in the last week of May that I'm on
the hit list of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba," Pillay told The Associated
Press.

Pillay's concern increased when the troubled Jammu-Kashmir
region was chosen as the venue for the Indian hockey contingent's
training camp before participation in an international tournament
in Malaysia next month.
