On Wednesday, Indian security personnel in Kashmir conducted a significant manhunt, one day after terrorists killed 26 tourists in the bloodiest attack on civilians in the area since 2000. Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the “heinous act” and promised that the assailants “will be brought to justice” while interrupting a state visit to Saudi Arabia.
26 people were murdered Tuesday afternoon when gunmen broke out of woodlands at a well-known tourist destination and raked groups of tourists with automatic guns, according to a hospital list confirmed by authorities. All of the victims were men.
After a suspected insurgent strike near the picturesque Pahalgam in south Kashmir on Wednesday, tourists put their luggage onto a car and head for Srinagar airport. Reuters While military helicopters hovered overhead, looking for the attackers on the wooded mountain slopes, a fleet of ambulances transported several of their remains to Srinagar on Wednesday.
All of the deceased were identified as Indian citizens, except for one who resided in nearby Nepal. The attack was “much larger than anything we’ve seen directed at civilians in recent years,” according to Omar Abdullah, the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir.
