Indian investigators say all three militants involved in April’s deadly attack on tourists near Indian-administered Kashmir’s Pahalgam town were Pakistani nationals from the UN-proscribed militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

Police had earlier issued sketches of three men saying two were Pakistanis while one was a local man.

The claim by the National Investigative Agency (NIA) came after it arrested two local men for allegedly sheltering the attackers. Pakistan has not commented on these claims.

It had earlier rejected involvement in the attacks in which 26 people were killed. The attack in Baisaran, a popular tourist spot, had brought India and Pakistan on the brink of war.
