“The FBI sends our condolences to all the victims of the recent terrorist attack in Kashmir — and will continue offering our full support to the Indian government," Patel wrote.
“This is a reminder of the constant threats our world faces from the evils of terrorism. Pray for those affected. Thank you to the men and women of law enforcement who answer the call in moments like these," he added.
Terrorists sprayed bullets on dozens of people in Pahalgam on Tuesday, killing at least 26, mostly tourists, in the deadliest attack in the Valley since the 2019 Pulwama attack.
The already strained ties between India and Pakistan plunged to a new low after the Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the attack.
India announced a raft of punitive measures against Pakistan, including the expulsion of Pakistani military attaches, suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and immediate closure of the Attari land-transit post.
Pakistan rejected India’s move to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, warning that any attempt to halt the flow of water would be considered an “act of war."
In a tit-for-tat move, Pakistan also threatened to suspend the 1972 Simla Agreement, which validates the Line of Control.
