Afghan-trained Pakistani terrorists behind Pahalgam attack, says intel

A major revelation has come to light regarding the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam. According to high-level sources, Pakistan has deployed terrorists, who previously fought in Afghanistan, into Kashmir to disrupt the region’s growing peace and development. These terrorists are said to be affiliated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) network.

Intelligence and security agencies have reportedly received credible inputs confirming that these Afghan-trained militants have been sent with a deadly agenda. Unlike earlier infiltrators, these fighters are experienced in guerrilla warfare and do not back down even when surrounded by security forces. They are known for standing their ground and helping fellow terrorists escape during encounters.

Sources indicate that Pakistan was unsettled by the positive headlines about Kashmir's development and international recognition of its improving situation. In a desperate attempt to destabilize the region, it has resorted to sending highly trained suicide bombers and hardcore terrorists to the Valley.

The brutal attack on April 22 in Baisaran Valley, near Pahalgam in Anantnag district, left the nation in shock. Twenty-six Hindu tourists lost their lives after the attackers, armed with AK-47s and M4 carbines and wearing body cameras, opened fire. The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy group, claimed responsibility for the massacre, marking it as the deadliest attack since Pulwama in 2019.

In response, security forces have intensified their operations across Jammu and Kashmir. Massive search drives are underway in forested areas, and encounters with terrorists have become frequent. In a strong message, the forces have demolished the houses of eight terrorists within just 24 hours of the attack.
