Not that it matters. Reuters has also listed a bunch of scenarios that could transpire between Indian and Pakistan with regards to Lashkar-e-Taiba and most of them end in lose-lose situation for either nation. [Yahoo Reuters]

PAKISTAN MOUNTS A TRIAL BUT LEAVES LASHKAR INTACT
A.k.a Maintain status quo. LeT is held back but operates under a pseudonym. Garbage by any other name still stinks.

At this stage looks like the most likely scenario. India would be forced to retaliate strengthening the hand of the military and extremists setting the stage for even more attacks in the future.
Heads I win, tails you lose.
