2001 Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly bombing
The 2001 Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly bombing was a terrorist attack that occurred on December 13, 2001, targeting the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly complex in Srinagar, India. The assault was carried out by militants affiliated with the Pakistan-based group Jaish-e-Mohammed, who stormed the assembly building while it was in session. The attack resulted in the deaths of 38 people, including civilians, security personnel, and the attackers themselves, while injuring dozens more. The incident heightened tensions between India and Pakistan and led to a significant escalation in military preparedness along the Line of Control. The bombing had profound implications for the political landscape in Jammu and Kashmir, contributing to a cycle of violence and security challenges in the region.
