2010 Jama Masjid attack
The 2010 Jama Masjid attack occurred on April 28, 2010, when two gunmen opened fire outside the historic Jama Masjid in Delhi, India, resulting in multiple injuries. The assailants targeted a group of tourists and locals, escalating concerns over terrorism in India, particularly in urban centers. The incident coincided with heightened security measures due to the Commonwealth Games scheduled later that year, intensifying scrutiny on the safety of religious and public sites. Authorities attributed the attack to the involvement of militant groups, potentially linked to larger networks operating in the region. The attack prompted widespread condemnation and discussions regarding national security, religious tolerance, and counter-terrorism efforts in India.
