Pahalgam Attack: FBI’s Kash Patel Condemns Terror, Assures India of Complete Support

The April 22 terror assault in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 people, has caused tensions between India and Pakistan to skyrocket.

The act was harshly denounced by FBI Director Kash Patel, who called it a "reminder of the constant threats that the world faces from the evil of terrorism."
Patel said, "The FBI will continue to offer our full support to the Indian government and sends our condolences to all the victims of the recent terrorist attack in Kashmir," in a post on X. This serves as a reminder of the ongoing dangers that terrorism poses to our globe. Offer up prayers for those impacted. We are grateful to the law enforcement officers that respond to calls during times like this.

The world community has strongly denounced the assault.

United States President Donald Trump spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 23, strongly denouncing the terror attack.

"President Donald Trump @realDonaldTrump @POTUS called PM @narendramodi and conveyed his deepest condolences at the loss of innocent lives in the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. President Trump vehemently denounced the terror assault and pledged his full support for India's efforts to apprehend those responsible for this horrific act. The United States and India are united in their fight against terrorism.

Trump also addressed the incident in public earlier on Friday, referring to it as "a bad one." "I am very close to India, and I'm very close to Pakistan, and they've had that fight for a thousand years in Kashmir," Trump said in an interview with ANI. Kashmir has existed for at least a millennium, if not longer. That terrorist strike wasn't good.

"There have been tensions on that border for 1,500 years," he continued. It has remained the same, but I have no doubt that they will find a solution. Both leaders are people I know. There has always been a lot of hostility between India and Pakistan.

The Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 was suspended, Pakistani military attachés were expelled, and the Attari land-transit facility was immediately closed as part of New Delhi's harsh response to the attack.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged to ruthlessly hunt down the attackers during a public rally in Madhubani, Bihar.

"Friends, I declare to the world today from the soil of Bihar: India will find, apprehend, and punish all terrorists and those who support them. We'll go to any lengths to find them. "Terrorism will never break India's spirit," he said.

Pakistan responded by threatening to halt other bilateral agreements with India and to revoke the Simla Agreement. Pakistan also barred its airspace to Indian planes and halted all trade relations.
