The attack in November 2025 on the Red Fort in Delhi was officially attributed to AQIS,&#8221; the report, published on August 10, stated.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The assessment marks a significant shift in the attribution of the Red Fort attack, which had earlier been linked to the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The report noted that one member state had attributed a series of attacks to JeM and also linked the group to the Red Fort blast.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The explosion occurred around 7 pm when a moving Hyundai i20 erupted in flames near the iconic monument.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Investigators identified Umar-e-Nabi as the driver of the car and suspect him of carrying out the attack as a suicide bomber.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Launched in 2014, AQIS is a regional affiliate of Al-Qaida.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The group was formed to expand the organisation\u2019s activities across South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and parts of Afghanistan.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Meanwhile, the latest UNSC assessment also flagged broader concerns over the activities and capabilities of Al-Qaida and Islamic State (ISIL\/Da\u2019esh) affiliates.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The report noted that Al-Qaida and ISIL had for years shown interest in developing chemical and biological weapons but had so far failed to overcome the technical challenges involved. <!-- -->It also highlighted the widespread circulation of instructions on producing such agents in online terrorist communities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>The report cited material published by ISIL\u2019s English-language Invade magazine in February that included instructions related to botulinum toxin and cyanide.
