Alleged JKLF veteran linked to Pahalgam attack

A recent intelligence report alleges that Habib Nazeer, also known as Habib Tahir, a Pakistani national who led the Jammu Kashmir Students Liberation Front (JKSLF) in 2017‑2018, was involved in the Pahalgam attack. The source says Tahir later joined Lashkar‑e‑Taiba and was traced to Rawalakot, suggesting a pipeline from student groups to militant outfits. Analysts note the pattern of denials by Pakistan and warn that such links could indicate broader cross‑border terror networks. The claim adds to ongoing scrutiny of Pakistan's role in regional militancy and may prompt further investigations.
