- Story Text: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with lawmakers and opposition leaders on Friday (December 13), paid tribute to those who lost their lives in the 2001 Parliament attack.
On December 13, 2001, five militants stormed the Parliament complex in New Delhi armed with grenades, guns and explosives. However, the militants were killed by security forces before they could enter the main chamber.
On December 13, 2001, five militants stormed the parliament complex in New Delhi armed with grenades, guns and explosives, but security forces killed them before they could enter the main chamber.
Fourteen people, including five militants, six personnel of Delhi Police, and three government workers, died in the militant attack that India blamed on Pakistan-based group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). The group fights Indian rule in Muslim-majority Kashmir.
New Delhi said the attackers, who detonated explosives and hurled grenades, had intended to assassinate top political figures. Mohammed Afzal Guru, a Kashmiri man who was convicted of helping organise arms for the gunmen who carried out the attack and a place for them to stay, was hanged in February 2013. - Copyright Holder: ANI (India)
