Pakistan: On Thursday, in Pakistan’s Bajaur district, sources reported that Akram Khan, a former commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) identified as Akram Gazi, was fatally shot by unidentified assailants.
Akram Gazi, who served as the leader of the LeT recruitment cell from 2018 to 2020, was renowned for delivering vehement anti-India speeches in Pakistan. His notoriety stemmed from his involvement in extremist activities over an extended period, and he played a significant role in leading the LeT recruitment cell. This particular segment was crucial for identifying and recruiting individuals sympathetic to extremist causes.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting and the identities of the assailants remain undisclosed as of now. The incident marks a notable development in the context of counter-terrorism efforts in the region.
