We resolutely oppose all forms of terrorism, says Chinese official condemning Kashmir terror attack
China on Wednesday reacted to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which left 28 people killed, and said Beijing resolutely opposes all forms of terrorism.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun was quoted as saying by Global Times: "We resolutely oppose all forms of terrorism, extend our condolences to the victims, and express sincere sympathy to the bereaved families and the injured."
Pahalgam Massacre
Twenty-eight tourists died after terrorists identified them as non-Muslims and gunned them down in Baisaran meadows, a popular destination in Pahalgam.
World leaders, including US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, condemned the attack.
The terrorists, who were apparently in camouflage, reportedly asked the victims to chant Islamic verse, pull down their pants to check circumcision in a bid to confirm their Hindu identities before gunning them down. Two among the dead were non-Muslim foreigners.
Amit Shah Visits Kashmir
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday visited Baisaran meadow and also paid homage to the victims of the incident.
He also met the kin of the people killed in the attack that has triggered grief and anger across the country.
Sketches Of Suspects Released
Indian security agencies have released sketches of three suspected terrorists behind the attack.
The three terrorists have been identified as Asif Fuji, Suleman Shah and Abu Talha, reported India Today.
They are believed to be members of The Resistance Front, an offshoot of Pakistan-based banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
The group included Pakistani terrorists who infiltrated the Valley just days before the attack, intelligence sources told India Today.
