The preliminary investigation after the National Security Guard and forensic teams of other government agencies revealed that the spot of the terrorist attack was carefully chosen. Adil Ahmad Dar rammed his explosive-laden vehicle on CRPF convoy when the vehicles had slowed down at a slope. His SUV was packed with RDX explosives weighing between 150 and 200 kg

Security forces and investigation agencies suspect that Dar made use of a service road to bring his vehicle close to the CRPF convoy. The bus against which Adil Ahmad Dar rammed his SUV was the fifth vehicle in the convoy.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it clear once again that he has given "full freedom" to security forces in the wake of the terror attack in Pulwama. PM Modi was speaking in a public event in Yavatmal in Maharashtra.

India has toughened its stand against Pakistan after Pulwama terror attack and is gearing up to isolate Pakistan on the international level. India will intensify efforts to isolate Pakistan in Financial Action Task Force (FATF) during its plenary meeting scheduled to take place later this month.

The FATF has already put Pakistan on a grey list and has warned that it will be blacklisted if it does not stop funding terror activities. Blacklisting by the FATF will cause huge economic problems for Pakistan.
