Red Fort blast a revenge strike: Jaish-e-Muhammed planned it after Operation Sindoor damaged Pakistan HQ | Delhi News - The Times of India
An intelligence report has connected the 2000 Red Fort blast in Delhi to Jaish-e-Muhammed’s plan to avenge the Indian Air Force’s Operation Sindoor strike on Pakistan’s Chaklala Air Base. The report indicates that the attack, which killed three Indian Army personnel, was carried out as retaliation for India’s cross-border airstrike. Jaish’s founder, Masood Azhar, allegedly ordered the assault to demonstrate the group’s strength after the losses suffered in the Pakistan operation. The findings reveal how the Red Fort attack was not an isolated act of terror but part of a broader revenge plot against India. Officials suggest the operation was planned and executed with foreign support, aiming to target India’s key heritage and military sites. The renewed intelligence highlights the long-term implications of cross-border terrorism and its impact on India’s internal security.
