The Resistance Front (TRF) had twice claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam terror attack and ‘published a photograph of the attack site’, the United Nations Security Council’s sanctions monitoring team has said.
According to PTI, The team in a report also cited assertions that the attack could not have happened without the support of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT).
The 36th report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team concerning ISIL (Da’esh), Al-Qaeda and associated individuals and entities, released at UN, mentions the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians were killed, saying ‘five terrorists attacked a tourist spot in Pahalgam, in Jammu and Kashmir’.
“The attack was claimed that same day by The Resistance Front (TRF), who in parallel published a photograph of the attack site,” said the report, which was submitted to the 1267 ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaeda sanctions committee of the UN Security Council.
The report said that the ‘claim of responsibility’ by TRF was ‘repeated the following day. On 26 April, however, TRF retracted its claim. There was no further communication from TRF, and no other group claimed responsibility,’ it said.
