Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) financer and a close aide of terrorist Hafiz Saeed, identified as Abdul Rehman, was reported to have been shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Pakistan’s Karachi on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr.
It was reported that two assailants arrived on a bike and opened fire on the unsuspecting Rehman, who was standing in a shop. The event was captured on video, showing the attackers shooting Rehman before absconding.
Abdul Rehman was reportedly serving as a key figure for LeT’s fundraising operations. Fund collectors from different areas would bring their collected amounts to him, which he would then funnel to the higher authorities of the group to fund LeT’s terrorist operations.
His death comes days after another close aide of Hafiz Saeed Abu Qatal was killed in Pakistan on March 16.
Katal had been on India’s most-wanted list due to his active involvement in planning and executing terror attacks in the region.
Abu Qatal was the mastermind of the 2023 Rajouri terror attack which resulted in the death of seven people with 13 injured. He was also responsible for the killing of seven people in Rajouri district’s Dangri village on January 1, 2023.
