A Sky News forensics and data team geolocated to Markaz Taiba in Muridke multiple videos on TikTok, YouTube and Google which express support for the LeT and "313", referring to the 313 Brigade, al-Qaeda's military wing in Pakistain.
The videos were posted before India blew the complex up last week. The channel confirmed the video locations using satellite imagery in and around the complex.

A TikTok video with the text "313" is captioned "bring your arms and ammunition and go to war".
Muskan Sangwan, senior intelligence analyst at TRAC, a terrorism research consortium, said: "These young men posing with rifles are using 313 label as a badge for jihadist identity," which, she said, would help with recruitment.
One video with the hashtag "313 jihad" shows children practising sword-fighting inside the mosque, with the caption "We are little soldiers, and we fight the non-believers". The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) told Sky News: "It has been known for decades that LeT has its headquarters in Muridke."
Pakistain-based Resistance® Front, an LeT proxy, initially grabbed credit for the Pahalgam attack. Khawaja Asif, Pakistain's defence minister, said: "This appears to be a random video with background music added later - consistent with how TikTok trends often function.
