Terrorism in India: Is it a land dispute or Islamist expansionism?

Indian intelligence agencies trace attackers' digital footprints: Indian media reports

Indian media reported the country's intelligence agencies traced the digital footprints of Pahalgam attackers to safehouses in Karachi, and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

The findings were based on forensic analysis and statements from survivors.

A report by Indian newspaper Hindustan Times quoted unnamed senior officials saying the attackers used a control room similar to the one that was used in the attacks on Mumbai in November 2008

The reports could not be independently verified.

There were five to six attackers, who shot for about ten minutes in three major spots at the Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam. They arrived from the nearby pine forests carrying rifles.

Survivors' accounts said they approached the tourists and asked them their religion. They were asked to recite Islamic verses and if they failed, they were shot, reported Indian news channel NDTV.
