The pact\u2019s provisions included establishing the \u201cLine of Control\u201d along which they face off in Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Kugelman, a Washington-based South Asia analyst, said the Indus Water Treaty and Simla accord had served as \u201csafety nets\u201d ensuring a baseline of co-operation and communication at times of high tension between Pakistan and India. \u201cThe relationship risks entering uncharted territory,\u201d Kugelman said.<\/p>\n<p>Police in Jammu and Kashmir said on Thursday that two of the three suspects in the Pahalgam massacre were Pakistani nationals, identifying them as part of a militant group behind one of India\u2019s worst mass murders of civilians.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a \u201cWanted\u201d notice published online, the police described the men as \u201cLeT terrorists\u201d, a reference to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, which was responsible for the killing of 175 people in Mumbai in 2008. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\"  width=\"2290\" height=\"1526\"><\/source><source media=\"(max-width: 490px)\"  width=\"1526\" height=\"1526\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption\"><span>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the Pahalgam attack would \u2018not go unpunished\u2019<\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 Reuters<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Speaking in the Indian state of Bihar on Thursday, Modi said his government would pursue \u201cto the ends of the earth\u201d the people responsible for an attack that was the deadliest on Indians in Kashmir since a 2019 suicide bombing that killed 40 paramilitaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say to the whole world, India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers,\u201d Modi said. \u201cIndia\u2019s spirit will never be broken by terrorism.
