Indian Agencies Identify Khalistani Liberation Army as Emerging Security Threat
Indian security agencies have identified the Khalistani Liberation Army (KLA) as a new, well-organised, and heavily armed Khalistani terror outfit posing a growing security threat. The group, reportedly supported by international terror networks, has claimed responsibility for recent blasts in Punjab and is believed to be investing in recruitment, training—including advanced weapons and drone use—and establishing bases abroad. Authorities are monitoring the KLA closely amid concerns it could operate as a proxy terror structure similar to Pakistan-backed militant groups.
