National Investigation Agency was able to establish and confirm the identity of suicide bomber as DNA samples from “meagre fragments of the car” used in suicide attack matched with Adil Ahmad Dar’s father. However, even after a year of investigation, NIA was unable to trace the source of explosives.
“Yasir did pose a potential threat. His killing has brought down the recruitment of locals and the outfit’s striking capability”, said a top counter-insurgency police officer.
India blame JeM for an attack on their parliament in New Delhi in December 2001 – a claim JeM denies.
JeM was officially banned in Pakistan soon after that attack but the group still operates, sometimes using the names Afzal Guru Squad, Al-Murabitoon and Tehreek-al-Furqan.
More recently, India has blamed JeM for an attack on its Pathankot airbase near the Pakistani border in January 2016, which left three security forces dead.
