Pahalgam Terror Attack: Hunt Continues as Suspects Remain Hidden in South Kashmir:

Suspense crime, Digital Desk : The attackers are still at large ten days after the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir which killed 26 people. NIA sources allege that the attack was executed by two Pakistani nationals and one local of South Kashmir.

American made rifles and vile protective arbours alongside instrumented steel munition prove the existence of modern armaments as well as the purchase from The Indian Express. A senior police officer told The Indian Express that these attackers possess rifles and protective clothing manufactured in America along with the ammunition, which raises concerns for the arms industry within India.
