Inside Muridke: Did India hit a ‘terror base’ or a mosque?

 

The Indian strike on Pakistan’s city of Muridke this week was a part of Operation Sindoor, the most expansive aerial attacks on Pakistan outside the four wars that the two nuclear-armed neighbours have fought.

And of all the sites targeted by India, Muridke was particularly significant.

Muridke has long been believed to be home to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) armed group, which India and other countries have blamed for carrying out deadly attacks on Indian soil, including the November 2008 attacks in Mumbai.

But Pakistan said only civilians were killed in the Indian missile strikes on Muridke.
