The Hindu··14 Aug
The United Nations Security Council's 38th sanctions monitoring report, published on August 10, said the November 2025 Red Fort attack in Delhi was officially attributed to Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent. AQIS is not listed under the 1267 sanctions. The November 10 car bomb killed 11 people near the monument around 7 pm in a Hyundai i20.

What It Means For You
- If you follow the Red Fort case, a UN monitoring team has now put AQIS on the official attribution line for the November 2025 blast that killed 11 people.
- Readers tracking sanctions lists can note the same report still marks AQIS as not listed under the 1267 regime.
- Anyone watching the NIA trial can see August 27 as the next listed date for the chargesheet, separate from the UN document.
What's Happening
- The 38th report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team said the November 2025 Red Fort attack was officially attributed to AQIS.

How AQIS Sits on India's Terror Lists
- The Ministry of Home Affairs notified AQIS and its manifestations as a terrorist organisation in June 2018.
- NIA said the attackers used TATP in a vehicle-borne device in a Hyundai i20 that exploded around 7 pm near the Red Fort.
- The monitoring team also noted Al-Qaeda and ISIL interest in chemical and biological weapons, and a late 2025 Gujarat arrest of three people including a doctor tasked to develop ricin.
