The 2001 Indian Parliament attack was a terrorist attack on the Parliament of India in New Delhi, India, on 13 December 2001. The attack was carried out by five Jaish-e-Mohammed militants and resulted in the deaths of six Delhi Police personnel, two Parliament Security Service personnel, and a gardener. All five militants were killed by security forces.
Indian authorities accused Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), two militant groups operating from Pakistan, of perpetrating the attack; however, LeT denied involvement.
The incident led to increased tensions between India and Pakistan, resulting in the 2001–2002 India–Pakistan standoff.
