Pahalgam Attack:

There were troubling trends in the terror assault in Pahalgam on Tuesday, which claimed the lives of 28 tourists and injured many more. The incident happened at Baisaran Meadow, a charming spot 7km from Pahalgam that is only accessible on foot or horseback.

Six foreign extremists, disguised in Army uniforms, allegedly demanded that the victims give their identities and recite Islamic scriptures before opening fire on them from a distance, according to witnesses. Religious targeting was evident from the random gunfire, which seemed to be directed at locating and assaulting non-Muslim tourists.
