Bangladesh interim government chief Muhammad Yunus on Wednesday condemned the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, where terrorists targeted tourists and gunned down 28 of them when they were travelling in the popular destination.
Yunus wrote on Facebook: "Excellency: Please accept my deepest condolences over the loss of life resulting from the terrorist attack that took place in Kashmir's Pahalgam. We strongly condemn this heinous act. Let me reaffirm Bangladesh's resolute stand against terrorism."
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.
