 The Pulwana attack is the worst since militancy erupted in 1989. On Thursday afternoon, a suicide bomber reportedly rammed an SUV packed with explosives into a bus carrying CRPF security personnel, killing at least 42 and injuring many others. The bus was part of a 78-vehicle convoy that was travelling on the the Srinagar-Jammu highway in Pulwama district. The Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Moahammad (JeM) has claimed responsibility for the bloodbath and released a video clip of the suicide bomber which it claimed was shot before the young man carried out the audacious attack in Lethpora, about 30 km from here. The group said one of its commanders, Adil Ahmad Dar, was the suicide bomber. Police sources and other officials told IANS the suicide bomber-driven SUV came along the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) bus when the 78-vehicle convoy carrying 2,547 security personnel was going from the transit camp in Jammu to Srinagar and rammed it into the bus around 3.15 p.m., triggering a deafening explosion. The first report spoke of eight deaths. But the death toll quickly mounted. The bus was said to be transporting 39 troopers. CRPF officials told IANS the bus was the main target of the militants and was destroyed fully while another CRPF vehicle was partly damaged. "It is difficult to believe how anyone in the bus could have survived," said a police officer.

Seven people, including an Indian Army major and two Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) militants, were reportedly killed in a gunfight in <keyword id="17605" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jammu-and-kashmir">Jammu and Kashmir</keyword>'s Pulwama district.

Azhar has been responsible for multiple deadly terrorist attacks in India, claiming the lives of hundreds in the country. India had renewed its bid to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist following a terror attack in Pulwama that killed over 44 paramilitary policemen on February 15, 2019. India accused Masood Azhar of training militants and planning several terror attacks in the country including the 2001 Parliament attack and the recent Pulwama attack. Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has ties with other terror groups has ties with other groups including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. In 2002, The group was banned in Pakistan. However, US authorities have claimed that they have been carrying out there operation freely. The Indian security forces t<a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/mail-today/story/averted-2-pulwama-like-attacks-security-forces-1477587-2019-03-14">racked down</a> 18 terrorists after Pulwama, 14 of which were from JeM. 2001 attack on Indian Parliament Parliament Terrorist groups Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba were also responsible for the attack on the Indian parliament in 2001. A group of armed terrorists had entered the Parliament of India, opening fire and killing nine. The terrorists also died in the encounter. Even though both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha had been adjourned before the attack took place, many Indian politicians were still believed to have been inside the building when the terrorists entered. 2008 - Mumbai attack Azhar was also responsible for the ghastly attacks in posh hotels and public places in Mumbai in 2008 that left at least 174 people dead. The attacks which were a series of shooting and bombing attacks had lasted for four days in November 2008, in Mumbai’s prime locations. The attack is still considered to be one of the most deadly ones in the world. 2016 - Pathankot air base attack Masood Azhar was also held responsible for being the mastermind of the terror attack that took place at Pathankot air base, in India, on 2 January 2016. The attack led to a breakdown in India-Pakistan relation that has been undergoing tussles over Kashmir from years. The attack initially killed four attackers and two security personnel with one more security personnel dying from injuries hours after the attack. 2019 - Pulwama attack Forty-five paramilitary soldiers lost their lives in Pulwama, Kashmir on Thursday in a terror attack.

In doing so, Pakistan maintains the stance it has taken in respect to militant attacks in the region. It has refuted giving help to militants, instead claiming that it offers them moral support in <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/pakistan-supports-self-determination-in-kashmir-pakistan-army-chief/articleshow/65721768.cms">their pursuit of self-determination</a>. However, as India prepares a full-scale investigation into the attack, as part of a larger mandate of retribution by way of an <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/pulwama-attack-on-crpf-in-kashmir-condemned-by-pm-modi/articleshow/67997003.cms">“unforgettable lesson”</a>, Pakistan will have no choice but to reckon with the fact that the attack - the worst in two decades in Kashmir - had its origins on home soil. And do something about it. Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), a Pakistan-based terrorist outfit, has claimed responsibility for the attack and even released a video clip of the suicide bomber - Adil Ahmad Dar, one of its commanders and a local militant. India has accused the government in the past of enabling the JeM to carry out its operations. In fact, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/02/indian-security-forces-killed-kashmir-blast-reports-190214110644498.html">most attacks</a> in recent years have been carried out by attackers with links to either the JeM or <keyword id="53557" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Lashkar-e-Taiba">Lashkar-e-Taiba</keyword>, another Pakistani outfit. In response, India has reiterated its demand for Pakistan to stop supporting terrorists. It has also consistently pressed for the chief of JeM, Masood Azhar, to be recognised as a terrorist under a UN Security Council charter. In addition to the India, many Western countries have been vocal about Pakistan’s inability to curb homegrown terrorism. US President Donald Trump has expressed his concerns about the country’s status as a safe haven for terrorists, even cancelling <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45386278">$300 million dollars</a> in aid to Pakistan in September last year owing to its failure to target terrorist groups.
