UN Report Attributes 2025 Red Fort Blast to Al-Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent
A United Nations Security Council report officially attributes the November 2025 car bomb blast near Delhi's Red Fort, which killed 11 people, to Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The report highlights AQIS's evolution from a fragmented group into a regional terrorist entity operating through decentralised cells with established logistics and financial networks. It also raises concerns about AQIS's attempts to expand into Bangladesh and notes ongoing interest by AQIS and Islamic State in developing chemical and biological weapons. Indian authorities have linked suspects to AQIS affiliates and arrested individuals involved in related terror plots.
