A Pakistani military vehicle in Muzaffarabad, in Pakistani-administered Kashmir, was hit June 26 by a suicide bomber. Two soldiers were killed and three injured. Shortly after the attack, a spokesman for Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility. It was not an exceptionally violent attack for Pakistan proper, and such attacks are carried out frequently in Indian-administered Kashmir by groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) — which was responsible for the November 2008 attacks in Mumbai — and Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD). Pakistan controls a number of militant groups in Kashmir that wreak havoc along the Line of Control to keep India off balance. But the June 26 attack was the first on Pakistani forces in the region carried out by elements loyal to Baitullah Mehsud’s TTP, the very Islamist militant group that is challenging Pakistan’s control over large swaths of its northwestern territories.
