Indische Sicherheitskräfte haben nach Angaben der Regierung die drei Angreifer getötet, die Ende April in Kaschmir einen Anschlag auf hinduistische Touristen verübt hatten. Bei dem Anschlag mit 26 Toten war der jahrzehntelange Grenzkonflikt zwischen Indien und Pakistan wieder aufgeflammt.

Overview

  • The raid unfolded in Dachigam near Srinagar where military, paramilitary and police units cornered the suspects.
  • The Resistance Front claimed responsibility for the April 22 assault and is viewed by New Delhi and the US as a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy.
  • Officials identified the three men as Pakistani nationals accused of killing 26 predominantly Hindu tourists in Pahalgam.
  • Witnesses reported that attackers separated women and children and forced some men to recite the Muslim declaration of faith before opening fire.
  • Pakistan denies any involvement in the attack and a US-brokered ceasefire has halted cross-border strikes since May 10.
