Red Fort Blast Case: New Evidence Points to Suicide Bomber
In a dramatic twist, investigators revisiting the 2000 Red Fort blast have uncovered evidence pointing to a suspected suicide bomber—a theory previously overlooked. The attack, which killed three, including two Army personnel, was initially attributed to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Fresh forensic analysis and witness accounts now suggest an unidentified attacker died in the explosion, reigniting debates over terror networks and intelligence lapses.
