Pahalgam Terror Attack: Ex-Pak Army Commando Hashim Musa Identified as Mastermind with ISI Links

In a major breakthrough, Indian intelligence agencies have uncovered direct links between the Pahalgam terror attack and Pakistan’s military establishment, confirming that the mastermind behind the incident, Hashim Musa, is a former Pakistani Para Commando trained by Lashkar-e-Taiba.

According to top intelligence sources, Hashim Musa orchestrated the attack along with three local militants. Disguised in Indian Army uniforms, the attackers targeted innocent tourists in an attempt to escalate tension in the Kashmir Valley.

Ex-Commando Turned Terrorist

Hashim Musa was once part of Pakistan’s elite Para Commando unit, but later transitioned into terrorism under the influence of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Sources confirm that ISI played a pivotal role in inducting Musa into Lashkar-e-Taiba, one of the most notorious terror outfits operating from Pakistani soil.

His military background made him a skilled operative, and he was specifically trained in covert operations. Musa has reportedly been involved in multiple terror attacks in the past, but the Pahalgam attack marks his most dangerous operation yet.

Lashkar’s Strategic Move

Musa was strategically deployed in Kashmir by Lashkar-e-Taiba, with a clear agenda — to destabilize the region and send a chilling message to the Indian establishment. The group’s calculated move to attack tourists, rather than security forces, indicates a shift in terror tactics designed to affect public morale and damage the image of Jammu and Kashmir as a safe travel destination.

This is the first time in recent years that tourists have been directly targeted on such a large scale in the Valley, signaling a worrying escalation in Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

Munir’s Alleged Involvement Raises Eyebrows

Adding another layer to the conspiracy, Pakistani journalist Adil Raja has made a startling revelation, claiming that General Munir, Pakistan’s current military chief, might have directly ordered the attack. According to Raja, Munir is seeking to extend his tenure and is using anti-India aggression to consolidate power domestically.

Raja pointed out that just three days prior to the attack, Munir had delivered a speech laced with anti-India rhetoric, which he claims set the stage for the Pahalgam incident. This revelation could further strain already tense Indo-Pak relations.

India’s Response: Eliminate the Threat

Indian security forces have reportedly launched a massive manhunt to track and eliminate Hashim Musa. Given his background in guerrilla tactics and covert ops, authorities believe neutralizing Musa is essential to preventing further escalations in the region.

With this expose, the Indian government is expected to ramp up diplomatic pressure on Pakistan and enhance security protocols in Kashmir, especially around tourist hubs.
