UNSC Report, Red Fort Attack and a camouflaged Pakistani hand
CROSS ROADS According to a new report from the UN Security Council body monitoring counter-terrorism sanctions, the Red Fort terror attack in New Delhi in November 2025 has been carried out by Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The report also mentioned that AQIS continued to evolve from a fragmented group into a regional terrorist entity, and instead of forming large terrorist groups, the organisation adopted a strategy of expanding its network through small, separate cells. The UNSC specifically expressed concern about Bangladesh, saying that the AQIS may attempt to use the neighbouring country to establish new terrorist cells. Earlier in 2023, the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team of the 1267 ISIL (Daesh) and Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council (UNSC) highlighting the mysterious advent of international terrorist organizations, noted in its 32nd report that Al-Qaeda was shaping its regional affiliate in the Indian subcontinent to spread its operations into Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Bangladesh and Myanmar, and that terrorist organisations like Al Qaeda, the Islamic State (IS) and the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) were planning to expand their presence from Afghanistan and Pakistan into peripheral countries such as India. It added that there are still some 200 active members of Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), the parent terrorist groups South Asia-focused affiliate, who may be plotting attacks in J&K, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. The report also highlighted the grooming of an affiliate by AQIS for Kashmir operations. Additionally, it raised the alarm that while expanding their network at home in India, AQIS supporters were also encouraging recruits to join Jihadi groups outside India. That India has seen fewer attacks than other countries in the region in the past years, is majorly due to its improved counterterrorism capabilities since the 2008 Mumbai attack, and minorly, a good amount of sheer fortune. While Al Qaeda had first mentioned India as a target in 1996, when Osama bin Laden had made a reference to both J&K and Assam, for the following several years however the outfit did not succeed in achieving anything significant in these places. Barring stray and unconfirmed reports over the subsequent decades of inroads being made by Al Qaeda in J&K, not much tangible emerged to demonstrate that the outfit had broken the barrier to enter the Kashmiri psyche. Then, Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) was founded in late 2014, when Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri announced in a video message the creation of a new branch which vowed to raise the flag of Jihad, return to Islamic rule, and empower the Sharia of Allah across the Indian Subcontinent. The head of AQIS, Asim Umar, subsequently spent years disseminating recruitment videos in J&K, but these did not yield tangible results. An intelligence report, meanwhile, disclosed in July 2014 that the prophecy of Ghazwa-e-Hind, or the final battle in India , was being used by Al Qaeda in its efforts to attract recruits in J&K and social media platforms were the preferred route to get the message across. Whereas AQIS seeks to operate across the South Asian region, its leadership is based in Pakistan, and all of its major successful attacks till recently have been carried out either in Pakistan or Bangladesh. There is little information available vis--vis the exact relationship between AQIS and the Al-Qaeda core, although experts suggest that al-Zawahiris direct involvement at that time in choosing AQIS senior leadership implies of a relatively close connection between the two entities. It appears that AQIS has been competing for influence and resources with IS and other terrorist organisations in their contesting attempts of retaining a stronghold over South Asia. It is interesting to note that with the growing dominance of IS and AQIS, the demography of terrorist recruits appears to have altered significantly. Then in 2017, Al Qaeda announced the formation of a J&K-specific wing called the Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGH), and although this outfit never grew anywhere close enough to threaten the establishment of a Caliphate in J&K, it did nonetheless achieve some traction and planted the seeds of a divisive and even more violence-driven ideology in Jammu & Kashmir, as the recent Red Fort attack exhibits today that the new dangerous ideology that the AGH sought to introduce into J&K has the potential to linger on in times to come and usher in a new discourse that earlier has been alien to the culture and polity of the region. The jury is still out on the real impact that these groups have had on the existing terrorist structures in J&K. Three things are clear, though. Firstly, it will not replace the existing Pakistan-sponsored militancy in J&K and will not lead to the creation of a Caliphate. Secondly, without direct support from Pakistani intelligence agencies as well as safe havens within Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied J&K, any terrorist outfit in J&K will find it extremely difficult to survive. Al Qaeda has been known to have linkages in the past with some of the Kashmir-centric groups based in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied J&K, case in point would be David Headly and the Mumbai attacks in 2008, and as early as 2014, Syed Salahuddin, Supreme of the terrorist organization Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) had announced that he was willing to take the help of Al Qaeda, the Taliban or any other organization or country. Thirdly, these groups, despite not having succeeded in recruiting a large number of members in J&K, do pose a significant threat to the Indian government as the Red Fort attack has manifested. The successes of these groups, even if limited in scale, could possibly mean that these entities may well have reached some sort of hand-in-glove understanding for logistical support with the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The ISI has mastered the art of creating new terrorist outfits which step into the shoes of other ISI-created terrorist groups operating in J&K once international pressure kicks in forcefully against the existing group. Thus, over the decades the prominence of JKLF was passed on to HM as the primary terrorist outfit fighting on behalf of the ISI in J&K after which it was taken over by the LeT once the heat against HM became unpalatable. Similarly, in recent years, especially after the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the LeT was replaced by the JeM. The future of these groups in South Asia depends on an extensive number of factors, and all possible outcomes must be explored. As it is unlikely that any of these groups will be able to physically hold territory in any South Asian country, they will most likely rely on increasing online radicalisation and recruitment methods. Attention must also be paid to Madrassas, many of which are fronts of extremist groups and are notorious for preaching radical interpretations of Islam and sending students to battlefronts, and these groups could potentially find a new generation of recruits within these Madrassas that are run by people sympathetic to the cause of these terrorist groups. The Red Fort attack and other major attacks in recent years in South Asia serve as proof that these groups are using all possible means to survive and thrive, leaving in their wake major headlines, high body counts and a palpable menace. These groups have latched on to friends and designated foes to become credible actors and to dig their claws in deeply in South Asia. Their future will heavily be determined by the ability of both State and non-State actors which want to see them defeated, to align their agendas and effectively cooperate. Cutting recruitment, propaganda and financial lifelines seem a logical place to start. However, ensuring the efficiency of these approaches requires regional cooperation, at the very least, considering the cross-border nature of terrorism. Thus, like Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia, South Asian countries should consider developing a model similar to the Trilateral Agreement, which is a prime example of international cooperation. Due to undeniable historical animosity between governments and their diverging agendas, the process of creating cooperation mechanisms regarding terrorism and transnational crime would certainly be impacted by politics in South Asia. A country like Pakistan, with a proven history of employing terrorism and supporting terrorist groups as State policy, remains the biggest stumbling block in this regard. The Indian security apparatus would do well to recognize that apart from the established terrorist organizations like LeT, HM and JeM, the mysterious advent of these international terrorist organizations and their infrastructure of Madrassas, online presence, propaganda techniques, funding networks and new-age recruitment policies need to be monitored closely to ensure that it is not able to capitalize in the years ahead upon the trend of growing radicalization amongst sections of the youth in J&K. The role of the ISI in strengthening such groups as part of a new strategy to keep violence alive in J&K in order to protect the pre-eminence of the Pakistani military establishment, especially, needs to be watched with a hawks eye and countered promptly and robustly.

APL 2026: Malakar's Knock Seals Nail-biting Win For Bottom-placed Tezpur Titans
Assam Premier League: Tezpur Titans chased down a mammoth 201 in a thrilling run-fest, edging past Guwahati Royals by two wickets with just two balls to spare in match number 30 of the Assam Premier League (APL) 2026 at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Saturday. Dibash Hazarika's blazing knock laid the platform for the chase, before skipper Ayushman Malakar produced a late cameo to see Titans home in a dramatic finish. Earlier, Sanjay Kumar Singh's unbeaten 81 propelled Guwahati Royals to 200. Having won the toss and opting to field, Titans endured an early setback as Guwahati Royals lost Rohit Sen and skipper Rishav Das inside the powerplay but recovered through Sanjay Kumar Singh. Singh anchored the innings from one end, remaining unbeaten on 81 off 57 balls with four fours and six sixes. Nibir Deka struck a rapid 22 off 13 balls, while Gunjan Jyoti Deka contributed 41 off 27 before being run out. Nipan Deka then produced a sensational late cameo, smashing an unbeaten 43 off just 10 balls, including 35 runs off the final over of the innings, as Guwahati Royals piled up 200/4 in their 20 overs. Wasim Akram Haque and Danish Ahmed were the only bowlers to find success for Titans, picking up two and one wicket respectively. In response, Titans lost Wasim Akram Haque cheaply, but Dibash Hazarika and Nihar Deka steadied the chase with a stand for the second wicket. Hazarika played a superb knock of 73 off 42 balls with six fours and six sixes, while Nihar Deka chipped in with 25. Roshan Topno then struck 39 off 24 balls to keep the chase on track, but wickets continued to fall at the other end as Bastab Roy proved a constant threat, finishing with figures of 3/33. With the equation tightening in the closing overs, skipper Malakar took charge, striking a blistering 41 off just 18 balls with four sixes to keep Titans in the hunt. Wickets kept tumbling around him, including a double blow in the same over that saw both Malakar and Abhinav Choudhury depart, but Prachurya Kataki held his nerve at the death, remaining unbeaten on 7 off just 2 balls, to guide Tezpur Titans over the line. The visitors reached 203/8 in 19.4 overs to complete a thrilling two-wicket win in one of the highest-scoring contests of the season. Brief scores: Guwahati Royals 200/4 in 20 overs (Sanjay Kumar Singh 81*, Nipan Deka 43*, Gunjan Jyoti Deka 41; Wasim Akram Haque 2/39, Danish Ahmed 1/15).

Assam Cricket Association Stadium: Barak Legends moved to the top of the points table in the Assam Premier League 2026 (APL) after their clash against Charaideo Sunrisers was abandoned due to rain at the Assam Cricket Association Stadium here on Saturday. Both teams received one point each after persistent rain prevented further play. Legends now have 11 points from eight matches, while Sunrisers are fifth with seven points from the same number of games. After being asked to bat first, Barak Legends posted 177/6 in their allotted 20 overs, with opener Bishal Saha continuing his impressive run of form.

He shared an 81-run opening partnership with Shraban Khound, who scored 47 before falling just three runs short of his half-century. The two provided Legends with a strong platform before the Sunrisers struck back with regular wickets. The Legends middle order could not make a major impact, but Abdul Ajij provided the late impetus with an unbeaten 32 off just 12 balls to help his side finish on a competitive total. For Charaideo Sunrisers, Reshabh Dipak was the standout bowler, claiming three wickets for 22 runs. In response, Sunrisers made a positive start to their chase and reached 35/0 in 2.5 overs before rain brought play to a halt.

J&K youth must ensure mistakes of past are never repeated: LG Sinha
Srinagar, Aug 14:The Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, today attended the solemn observance of Partition Horrors Remembrance Day at Tagore Hall, Srinagar. The event was marked by collective remembrance and a reaffirmation of national unity. In his address on the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor paid heartfelt tribute to all those citizens who endured unimaginable suffering during the partition of 1947 and whose sacrifices continue to inspire generations. The Lieutenant Governor emphasised that the wound of partition continues to exist as a pain in the collective consciousness of every Indian. Decades after the partition, their sacrifice reminds us that the wound remains unhealed, lingering as a generational pain in Indias collective soul. On Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, we are not merely recalling the past but we are giving voice to those millions whose voices were taken away from them. I wish to reiterate with firm resolve that we will not allow their pain to be buried in the dust of history. Remembering them is fulfilling our duty towards humanity. We will preserve their memories. Remembering them with complete truthfulness, honesty, and utmost sensitivity is the most sacred tribute. I believe that their stories are an indelible chapter of our national consciousness, and their sacrifice will forever remain alive in the soul of Mother India, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor urged the people of UT of Jammu and Kashmir to treat this day as an occasion of introspection and national resolve. He called upon the youth, farmers, workers, and women to rise with courage and determination, to turn the pace of time towards progress and harmony. The Lieutenant Governor praised the resilience of people who rebuilt their lives with courage and enriched the countrys social fabric and cultural heritage with historic traditions and values. Todays occasion is an opportunity to acknowledge the pain of the past and strengthen our unwavering commitment to peace, harmony and national unity. This day reminds us that only the lessons of history can make the future secure and humane, the Lieutenant Governor said. He noted that the partition divided families and displaced communities from Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Chhamb. He paid tribute to those who faced decades-long discrimination within the UT due to Article 370. The Lieutenant Governor said that Honble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ended their suffering and granted them equal rights like any other citizen of the country. The Lieutenant Governor also paid tribute the countless families who sacrificed during the tribal invasion months after partition. Within a few months of partition, enemies of the nation carried out terror attack under the cover of tribal invasions. Indian army and people fought bravely. The struggle and sacrifice of countless families are an integral part of the collective memory of Jammu and Kashmir. Today, I humbly pay tribute to the patience, hard work, and unbroken patriotism of all those families, he said. Addressing the youth, the Lieutenant Governor emphasised that partition is not merely history but a living memory of millions of families. He urged them to learn from the experiences of the past, to reject enmity and communal bitterness, and to build bridges of trust. He called upon them to construct a developed India that is inclusive and empowered. The youth of Jammu Kashmir must ensure that the mistakes of the past are never repeated in the future. Where walls were once raised, you must build bridges of trust and construct a Viksit Bharat that is inclusive, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor reminded the gathering that Indias strength lies in its diversity. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from Gujarat to Goa, from Assam to Arunachal Pradesh, India is a confluence of languages, cultures, traditions, and beliefs, he said. Through partition, enemies of the nation tried to destroy this spirit of unity in diversity, but India has continuously moved forward with pride and confidence. We must take a pledge to acquaint future generations with the pain of partition, to strengthen peace and harmony, and to ensure that such a tragedy is never repeated. Building a self-reliant Jammu Kashmir is a shared duty and national unity remains the bedrock of our strength, security and collective progress, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor visited the photo exhibition on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day. A Two- minute silence was observed in memory of those who lost their lives during the Partition of India.

Quitting alcohol changes the brain and can increase the risk of compulsive drinking
August 14, 2026 (Conversation) For some, abstaining from alcohol can subsequently increase compulsive drinking. Our research team found that, in abstaining mice, this urge to drink is preceded by changes in the activity of a particular brain region, pointing to potential new screening opportunities to identify and help those most vulnerable to relapse. Although alcohol abstinence is associated with improved health outcomes, addiction researchers have theorized that brain changes that occur during abstinence may increase a persons risk of relapse.

What is sudden adult death syndrome?

APL 2026: Kataki's Five-wicket Haul In Vain As Rangers Secure Thrilling Three-run Win Over Titans
Assam Premier League: Prachurya Kataki produced the best bowling figures of the tournament so far by picking a sensational five-wicket haul. But his effort went in vain as Nagaon Rangers edged out Tezpur Titans by three runs in a low-scoring thriller in the inaugural Assam Premier League here at the ACA Stadium on Friday.

Earlier, opting to bat, the Rangers posted a modest 123 in 19.3 overs. Jitu Ali led the way with a brisk 45 off 33 balls, while Dhruv Raaj Borah provided valuable support with a 30-ball 36 to help their side recover from the early loss of skipper Sumit Kashyap. The Titans mounted a strong fightback through Ayushman Malakar, who claimed 3-27, before Kataki took center stage. The bowler's four-over spell proved devastating as he removed Borah, Anurag Talukdar, SK Jnyanam, Bhargav Dutta, and Sunil Lachit. In response, the Titans began their chase on a positive note with opener Wasim Akram Haque striking a quickfire 21 off 14 balls. Roshan Topno then anchored the middle overs with a patient 31 off 35 deliveries, alongside Sidhartha Sarmah's 13 off 10 balls, to keep the chase within reach.

LG Sinha Addresses Partition Horrors Remembrance Day event at Srinagar
SRINAGAR, AUGUST 14: The Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha today attended the solemn observance of Partition Horrors Remembrance Day at Tagore Hall, Srinagar. The event was marked by collective remembrance and a reaffirmation of national unity. In his address on the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor paid heartfelt tribute to all those citizens who endured unimaginable suffering during the partition of 1947 and whose sacrifices continue to inspire generations. The Lieutenant Governor emphasized that the wound of partition continues to exist as a pain in the collective consciousness of every Indian. Decades after the partition, their sacrifice reminds us that the wound remains unhealed, lingering as a generational pain in India's collective soul. On Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, we are not merely recalling the past but we are giving voice to those millions whose voices were taken away from them. I wish to reiterate with firm resolve that we will not allow their pain to be buried in the dust of history. Remembering them is fulfilling our duty towards humanity. We will preserve their memories. Remembering them with complete truthfulness, honesty, and utmost sensitivity is the most sacred tribute. I believe that their stories are an indelible chapter of our national consciousness, and their sacrifice will forever remain alive in the soul of Mother India, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor urged the people of UT of Jammu Kashmir to treat this day as an occasion of introspection and national resolve. He called upon the youth, farmers, workers, and women to rise with courage and determination, to turn the pace of time towards progress and harmony. The Lieutenant Governor praised the resilience of people who rebuilt their lives with courage and enriched the countrys social fabric and cultural heritage with historic traditions and values. Todays occasion is an opportunity to acknowledge the pain of the past and strengthen our unwavering commitment to peace, harmony and national unity. This day reminds us that only the lessons of history can make the future secure and humane, the Lieutenant Governor said. He noted that the partition divided families and displaced communities from Pakistan-occupied Jammu Kashmir and Chhamb. He paid tribute to those who faced decades-long discrimination within the UT due to Article 370. The Lieutenant Governor said that Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ended their suffering and granted them equal rights like any other citizen of the country. The Lieutenant Governor also paid tribute the countless families who sacrificed during the tribal invasion months after partition. Within a few months of partition, enemies of the nation carried out terror attack under the cover of tribal invasions. Indian army and people fought bravely. The struggle and sacrifice of countless families are an integral part of the collective memory of Jammu Kashmir. Today, I humbly pay tribute to the patience, hard work, and unbroken patriotism of all those families, he said. Addressing the youth, the Lieutenant Governor emphasized that partition is not merely history but a living memory of millions of families. He urged them to learn from the experiences of the past, to reject enmity and communal bitterness, and to build bridges of trust. He called upon them to construct a developed India that is inclusive and empowered. The youth of Jammu Kashmir must ensure that the mistakes of the past are never repeated in the future. Where walls were once raised, you must build bridges of trust and construct a Viksit Bharat that is inclusive, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor reminded the gathering that Indias strength lies in its diversity. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from Gujarat to Goa, from Assam to Arunachal Pradesh, India is a confluence of languages, cultures, traditions, and beliefs, he said. Through partition, enemies of the nation tried to destroy this spirit of unity in diversity, but India has continuously moved forward with pride and confidence. We must take a pledge to acquaint future generations with the pain of partition, to strengthen peace and harmony, and to ensure that such a tragedy is never repeated. Building a self-reliant Jammu Kashmir is a shared duty and national unity remains the bedrock of our strength, security and collective progress, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor visited the photo exhibition on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day. A Two- minute silence was observed in the memory of those who lost their lives during the Partition of India. The event also featured a moving theatrical performance by the artists that brought to light the trauma, hardship, and displacement experienced by millions during the Partition. Dr Syed Darakhshan Andrabi, Chairperson, J&K Waqf Board; Shri Atal Dulloo, Chief Secretary; Shri Shaleen Kabra, Additional Chief Secretary, Jal Shakti Department, Shri Brij Mohan Sharma, Principal Secretary Culture; Shri Ashok Koul, General Secretary (Organisation) BJP J&K; senior officials, prominent citizens from different walks of life and youth in large number were present.
