A report published in EU Reporter highlighted that recent terrorist attack near Red Fort in New Delhi is a stark reminder of the continuing threat posed by international terrorist networks which exploit both ideological and financial infrastructures to execute attacks. It said, the main structures used to organise and execute attacks against Indian targets rely on a multi-layered hybrid infrastructure.

The report stated that terrorist organizations such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba operate through a combination of political figures disguised as front organizations, intermediary networks within Pakistan, supported by state-linked networks and smaller cells that utilize professionals or students for radicalization and technical support. It further mentioned that funding and supplies for these terror networks originate from a combination of sources, including private donations and sponsorships often via international charitable or religious organizations.

The report warned that the ongoing activity of Pakistan-sponsored terrorist networks may negatively impact Europe in several ways.
