Pahalgam Terror Strike Updates: Sketches Of Terrorists Behind The Incident Released

Security agencies have released sketches of the terrorists behind the attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam that left 26 tourists dead. The three terrorists have been identified as Asif Fuji, Suleman Shah and Abu Talha. 

As per the sources and information received so far, three to four terrorists were involved in the attack and they continuously fired for at least 20 minutes from AK47 at the popular Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam. The attackers are reportedly the members of The Resistance Front - an offshoot of the banned terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

Terrorists opened fire at a famed meadow near Kashmir's Pahalgam town on Tuesday afternoon, killing 26 people, mostly tourists, in what is the deadliest attack in the Valley since the Pulwama strike in 2019.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has met the survivors of the terror attack in Pahalgam and the families of the victims and assured them that the perpetrators of the act would be brought to justice.

Baisaran, about six kilometres from the resort town of Pahalgam, is an expansive meadow ringed by dense pine forests and mountains and a favourite with visitors from across the country and the world.

Armed terrorists came into the grassland, dubbed 'mini Switzerland', and started firing at tourists milling around eateries, taking pony rides or just picnicking, officials and eyewitnesses said.
