This brazen act, described by security sources, underscores the defiant nature of the perpetrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><br>The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has termed this eyewitness a crucial confidential source. This local service provider, who encountered the terrorists moments after the carnage, has provided pivotal information, aiding investigators in reconstructing the sequence of events.<br>According to the eyewitness, two local individuals, who have since been arrested by the NIA for their alleged role in providing assistance, were present in the valley during the attack. These individuals are reported to have handled the belongings of the three terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><br>One of the identified terrorists is Suleiman, a Lashkar-e-Taiba commander. He is a key operative wanted in connection with at least three other terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir, including a high-profile attack on the Z-Morh tunnel construction agency. Investigations suggest Suleiman, a suspected former Pakistani special forces commando, led the Pahalgam attack squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><br>The April 22 attack saw Pakistan-based terrorists open fire on tourists in the scenic Baisaran Valley, resulting in the deaths of 26 people, predominantly tourists. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><br>In the aftermath of the attack, India swiftly implemented a series of stringent measures against Pakistan. These included the temporary suspension of various strategic agreements, notably the Indus Waters Treaty, the expulsion of Pakistani diplomats, and the closure of the Attari-Wagah border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"> India also banned the entry of Pakistani ships at Indian ports and prohibited direct or indirect imports of all goods from Pakistan, citing national security concerns. These actions signify a firm response from India to the cross-border terrorism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: In a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the horrific Pahalgam terror attack of April 22, an eyewitness has reported that the terrorists fired celebratory shots into the air immediately after killing 26 civilians in the Baisaran Valley.
