Pak-based TRF, behind J&K attack, to shift base as US declares it terror outfit: Reports
The United States has recently designated The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) offshoot, as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). The move comes amid reports that TRF, responsible for the recent Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 people, is planning to shift its base from Muridke to Bahawalpur in Pakistan.
TRF, which is believed to be operating with the tacit support of the Pakistan Army, has been involved in several terror attacks in the Kashmir Valley in recent times. The outfit has claimed responsibility for several attacks, including the Pahalgam attack, which left 26 people dead.
According to reports, TRF is planning to shift its base from Muridke, a town in Punjab province of Pakistan, to Bahawalpur, a city in Punjab province. The move is seen as an attempt by the outfit to evade the scrutiny of the international community and law enforcement agencies.
TRF’s decision to shift its base comes after the US designated the outfit as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). The US has acknowledged that TRF claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack, which left 26 people dead.
The US designation is seen as a significant development, as it would enable the international community to take action against TRF and its leaders. The designation would also freeze any assets held by TRF in the US, making it difficult for the outfit to operate.
TRF is believed to be a proxy of the Pakistan Army, and its operations are closely linked to the military’s objectives in the Kashmir Valley. The outfit has been involved in several attacks on Indian security forces and civilians, including the recent Pahalgam attack.
The Pahalgam attack, which was carried out on July 11, left 26 people dead, including several civilians. The attack was carried out by a group of heavily armed terrorists who stormed a tourist bus carrying pilgrims to the Amarnath cave shrine.
The attack was widely condemned by the international community, and several countries, including the US, India, and the European Union, have called for increased vigilance against terrorist outfits like TRF.
