Unknown gunmen kill LeT commander, ISI-linked official in Pakistan

The hit jobs by unidentified gunmen continue to rock both the ISI and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Pakistan. Unknown persons have killed a senior LeT commander as well as a low-level official linked to the ISI.  Those killed have been identified as Mir Shukr Khan Raisani and Mohammad Iqbal. The LeT has lost several top commanders in recent months thanks to hit jobs by the unidentified gunmen. Raisani was a top LeT commander and was killed at Quetta in Balochistan. Just a day before his killing, he had attended a major event organised by the LeT. He was handling operations for the LeT in Balochistan.

Hindustan Times Executive Editor Shishir Gupta and Senior Anchor Aayesha Varma discuss the Pahalgam terror attack and its wider geopolitical fallout. During the conversation, they look back at the massacre, interrogate Pakistan’s terror ecosystem, and ask what India must do to prevent another such tragedy. One year ago, 26 Hindu tourists were singled out and gunned down by Lashkar‑e‑Taiba terrorists in Pahalgam. A massacre that scarred Pahalgam One year ago, 26 Hindu tourists were singled out and gunned down by Lashkar‑e‑Taiba terrorists in the Baisaran valley near Pahalgam, in one of the most brutal communal massacres in recent years. The attackers identified Hindu men and shot them in front of their families, turning a holiday into a scene of horror. Gupta describes the “cost of terrorism” as humongous: lives lost, families destroyed, and a country forced to confront the failure of its security architecture in the face of a “rogue state” on India’s western border. In hindsight, he argues, every link in the security chain—from intelligence to local police response—was found wanting. Three Lashkar operatives, …

Widening its crackdown on the inter-state network of the Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group, the Jammu and Kashmir Police, in coordination with central intelligence agencies, has detained several people from Haryana and Rajasthan for allegedly facilitating the acquisition of fraudulent identities, including passports, by terrorists. The operation by J&K police unveiled a deep-rooted terror network with connections across India and led to the arrest of key terrorists. (PTI) Officials said on Sunday that the detained persons provided critical logistical support to terrorists by making documents like Aadhaar and Permanent Account Number (PAN) cards and even voter cards. The investigation was spearheaded by the Srinagar Police, which generated the entire intelligence.
