New Delhi: A United Nations counter-terrorism monitoring team has linked Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) to multiple attacks, including a deadly incident in the national capital last year, raising fresh concerns over the group's operational status despite claims that it has been dismantled.
According to the report, one Member State informed the monitoring team that JeM had claimed responsibility for a series of attacks. Among them was a reported strike in November near the Red Fort in New Delhi that allegedly killed 15 people.
The panel said the claims point to JeM's continued involvement in terror operations. The report also noted that on October 8, JeM chief Masood Azhar formally announced the establishment of a woman-only wing called Jamaat ul-Muminat.
Separately, the report referred to developments in Jammu and Kashmir, noting that three people allegedly involved in the Pahalgam attack were killed on July 28, 2025. The April 2025 attack in Pahalgam, carried out by The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), left 26 civilians dead and sharply escalated tensions in the region.
Although countries are not identified in the document, Pakistan has repeatedly maintained that banned organizations such as JeM and LeT are no longer functional after being proscribed under its domestic anti-terror laws.
