NEW DELHI — An Indian team has held talks with United Nations counter-terrorism officials as part of efforts aimed at banning a group New Delhi says carried out the deadly April attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Indian Kashmir.

The Resistance Front (TRF), which India says is “a front” for the U.N.-proscribed Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, twice claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people before retracting its claim.
