The spark of the last round of climbing between India and Pakistan, the most expansive struggle between the enemies in decades, was a terrorist slaughter of civilians in Kashmir last month.
A group of attackers managed to pierce the appearance of the calm that the Indian government had been projecting from the problem of Kashmir region, for a long time the inflammation point of the dispute between the two neighbors. The attackers left the forest in a picturesque place of picnic and killed 26 men. Men, almost all Hindu, were identified by their religion, and many of them were killed in front of their wives and families, cordination to witness accounts.
A little known group called Resistance Front responsibility. The Indian government said the group was a front for a broader terrorist apparatus that has operated in Pakistan, and announced a series of strikes against Pakistan that has now entered into military conflicts. Pakistan has rejected those statements.
This is what we know about the groups that India said he had attacked in his military attacks.
What are the two main groups that go to India?
Lashkar-E-Taiba, which was founded in the 1980s, has been sustained by Pakistan’s goal some of the worst terrorist attacks in India. It was added to the UN sanctions list in 2005.
One of the most mortal attacks that the group orchestó was the 2008 slaughter in Mumbai, the financial center of India, doors that 160 people were killed. Almost a gunboats arrived in boats and fought a day of butcher shop, including the hostages of the bar in an important hotel. One of the attackers was captured alive, and much of the account of the ties of the attack with Pakistan came from their confessions. He was sentenced in India in 2010 and executed in 2012.
Pakistan has confirmed the links of Lashkar-E-TAIBA to past violence in India, but says that the group was prohibited and with a band of dishes a long time ago. The founder of the group, Hafiz Saeed, is free despite the periods of letters, and Indian officials say that the group continues their activities through multiple coverage organizations and ramifications, such as the Resistance Front.
Jaish-E-Mohammed, the second group that Indian officials said they had attacked in their attacks, has had an important hand in the militancy in Kashmir. But their activities have not been limited to there.
The founder of the group, Masood Azhar, was imprisoned in the 1990s by the militant activity in Kashmira, but was launched as part of a hostage agreement in 1999. The tok andian alilines kidnappers fly to Kandahar, Afghanistan, and demanded the release of Mr. Azhar and other militants for returning to release the more than 150 passes that were in celebration.
Jaish-E-Mohammad is accused of multiple mortal attacks in Kashmir, including bombing in 2019 of an Indian military convoy that led the two countries to a letter conflict. He was also behind a deadly attack against the Indian Parliament in 2001.
What did India achieve in her strikes?
India’s military forces said they had reached nine locations in Pakistan in their early operation on Wednesday morning, including the facilities associated with the two terrorist outfits.
How many people were killed and the scope of any damage to the infrastructure of the groups was not entirely clear. The two parties had very different statements.
Indian officials, informants of the legislators, said they had killed some “100 terrorists” in their attacks. The Pakistani army put the number of deaths at 31.
In the field, it was clear that many of the attacks had hit the facilities associated with the two terrorist groups, although it was not clear if the facilities were current or old.
In Bahawalpur, in Punjab, the most populous province of Pakistan, a strike in a complex associated with Mr. Azhar killed 13 people, including 10 members or Mr. Azhar’s family. It was the deadliest of strikes.
Another strike in Muridke, a city about 25 miles from the Pakistani capital, Lahore, hit a complex of buildings previously used as the Lashkar-E-Taiba headquarters, killing three people. But Pakistani officials said they had tasks on the building in 2019 after having forbidden another outfit of the Lashkar front.
It was said that four other attacked sites were small seminars and mosques linked in the past with the militant groups, in Punjab and in the part administered by Pakistan of Kashmir.
