Italian investigative journalist Francesca Marino, one of the world’s foremost experts on Pakistan and the Jaish-e-Mohammed, speaks exclusively to NDTV’s Aditya Raj Kaul about her new book “From Pulwama to Payback – The Inside Story”. In a searing conversation, Marino links the recent suicide bombing at Delhi’s Red Fort to JeM’s resurgence, reveals never-before-told accounts of the Balakot air strike, and warns that Pakistan’s deep state continues to nurture a terror ecosystem that is rapidly mutating. From female suicide squads to intelligence failures and global hypocrisy, Marino lays bare the alarming realities behind South Asia’s most dangerous terror outfit.
