LeT’s proxy terror group claims attack
Earlier on Tuesday, terrorists opened fire at a famed resort near Pahalgam town killing 26 people of whom mostly were tourists. The attack was later claimed by The Resistance Front (TRF), the group which is a proxy of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist organisation. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi, who was in Saudi Arabia on a two-day visit, cut short his visit and departed for New Delhi after the attack.
