Ex-Pakistani Army Soldier Suspected in Pahalgam Terror Attack

Ex-Army Soldier Linked to Pahalgam Terror Attack

Hashim Musa, a former member of Pakistan’s elite Para Forces, is the prime suspect in the deadly terror attack that shook the Indian town of Pahalgam on April 22nd. Sources within the security establishment have revealed that Musa was dismissed from the Pakistan Army before joining the notorious terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

It is believed that Musa infiltrated India back in September 2023, primarily operating in the Budgam district of Kashmir, a region close to Srinagar. Intelligence agencies suspect that Musa may have been recruited by Pakistan’s Special Service Group (SSG) to bolster LeT’s operations in Kashmir.

Musa’s military background makes him a highly dangerous adversary. As a trained para commando, he is considered an expert in unconventional warfare, covert operations, and handling sophisticated weaponry. Security officials emphasize that trained commandos like Musa possess exceptional hand-to-hand combat skills, navigation abilities, and survival instincts, making them formidable threats.
