„Sie existieren nur, um Indien ins Visier zu nehmen“: Italienischer Journalist über Jaish-Verbindung zur Explosion in Delhi

Here is the summary of NDTV’s news article:

— **Delhi blast tied to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), a terrorist group in Pakistan, *Italian investigative journalist Francesca Marino* links the November 10 Red Fort suicide bombing in Delhi (15 dead, 20+ injured) to a broader revival of Pakistan-based JeM,** saying it’s part of a long-term terror blueprint rather than an isolated attack.

— She argues in her book that **Pakistan’s army and ISI remain deeply intertwined with JeM and other jihadist groups.**

— **Further, she says the Pakistani army “needs to manufacture an enemy” to justify its power, and that enemy is — India — creating conditions in which groups like JeM can thrive.**

— Radicalised Pakistani state and army’s need for an enemy, **Marino calls current army chief Asim Munir „the most radical army chief in Pakistan’s history.“**

— JeM’s sole purpose is to keep attacking India
Marino stresses that **“JeM exists only to target India“** and argues that if the group doesn’t carry out attacks, it risks losing both relevance and funding, so it is compelled to keep striking India.

— Balakot (terror training camp) strike by India, cover-up, and JeM’s rebuilding, drawing from her book From Pulwama to Payback, Marino says India’s 2019 Balakot airstrike seriously damaged a key JeM training camp. She describes a rapid Pakistani cover-up (phones seized, area sealed, controlled media visits) and criticises global media for accepting Pakistan’s denials, even as JeM has since rebuilt and seeks revenge.
