2001 Indian Parliament attack
The 2001 Indian Parliament attack was a terrorist assault that occurred on December 13, 2001, targeting the Parliament building in New Delhi, India. In a well-coordinated attack, five armed militants from Pakistan-based extremist groups stormed the complex during a parliamentary session, resulting in the deaths of nine security personnel and one civilian. The attackers were killed in a fierce gunfight with security forces. The incident led to heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, prompting India to mobilize its military along the border and reinforce its counter-terrorism measures. The attack significantly influenced India's domestic and foreign policy, leading to demands for stricter anti-terror laws and a re-evaluation of relations with Pakistan.
