Red Fort Suicide Bombing Investigation
In a definitive and chilling confirmation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has officially declared the November 10 blast near the Red Fort a suicide bombing, carried out using a sophisticated Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED). This confirmation marks a watershed moment in the nation’s counter-terrorism efforts, signifying the first car-borne suicide attack in the national capital. The agency also announced a major breakthrough in the Red Fort Suicide Bombing Investigation by arresting a crucial conspirator, Amir Rashid Ali.
The forensic examination has definitively established the identity of the deceased driver as Dr. Umar Un Nabi, an Assistant Professor of General Medicine from Al-Falah University in Faridabad. His professional identity as a doctor underscores the highly sophisticated and alarming nature of the white-collar terror module that orchestrated the deadly attack, which claimed 13 lives. The arrested individual, Amir Rashid Ali, a Kashmiri resident from Pampore, played a central role in the logistics of the attack.
