Terror Attack In Pahalgam Linked To Pakistan-Based Group
Four heavily armed terrorists affiliated with The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, carried out the April 22 assault in Pahalgam.
Authorities identified two of the attackers as Pakistani nationals.
Emerging from the dense forested terrain, they opened indiscriminate fire on a group of tourists, causing one of the deadliest attacks in recent years in the region.
India Responds With Swift Measures Against Terrorism
