2001 Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly car bombing

On Monday, 1 October 2001, three militants belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammed carried out an attack on the Jammu and Kashmir State Legislative Assembly complex in Srinagar using a Tata Sumo loaded with explosives, ramming it into the main gate with three fidayeen suicide bombers. 38 people and three fidayeen were killed in this attack. Quotes It was not as if the terrorists had not given hints of attacking the temple of Indian democracy. In an equally audacious attack, three suicide bombers had barged into the J&K assembly premises on 1 October 2001. The attack claimed 38 lives. The Indian establishment reacted strongly, but only in words. Fortunately, none of the leaders of the state were injured in this attack. Emboldened by this attack, the terrorists chose the Indian Parliament as their next target. Tiwari, D. P., (2019). The great indian conspiracy. London : Bloomsbury Publishing, 2019.
