Islamabad, May 1: Reports of the death of yet another anti-India terrorist in Pakistan surfaced tonight, hours after the killing of a top commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) by unknown gunmen in the country.
According to these reports, Ahmed Sajad, a commander of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) terror outfit has died in mysterious circumstances in Islamabad.
While details are not available immediately, it is suspected that he may have been killed by someone.
It is extremely difficult to ascertain the full details since the Pakistani establishment always suppresses information about such incidents related to the terrorists whom the Pakistani military and its intelligence agency ISI grooms and uses as tools against India.
It is, however, known that Ahmed Sajad originally hailed from Baramulla district of Kashmir and had been living in Pakistan after illegal exfiltration decades back.
He has been involved in planning and execution of several terrorist acts in Jammu and Kashmir and rest of India.
The news about Ahmed Sajad surfaced hours after Maulana Salman Azhar, a top commander of JeM and close aide of the outfit’s chief Masood Azhar, was shot dead by some unknown gunmen in Bahawalpur in Punjab province of Pakistan.
He was shot while travelling in a car.
JeM has the headquarters in Bahawalpur and Salman Azhar used to operate from there, planning and overseeing execution of terrorist attacks in India, according to sources.
Salman Azhar’s killing came three days after Sheikh Yusuf Afridi, a senior commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist outfit, was gunned down by unknown gunmen in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan.
Afridi, a close associate of LeT chief Hafiz Saeed, was shot at from close range by some gunmen who fled fro the scene immediately.
Afridi was linked to various attacks in India. He was a key figure in LeT’s regional structure and was involved in recruitment and coordination of the outfit’s activities in the region.
These attacks come after a series of such incidents in various parts of Pakistan over the last few years in which a number of anti-India terrorists have been eliminated.
All the three terror outfits — HM, JeM and LeT — propped up and fully supported by the Pakistani establishment through its Army and intelligence agency ISI. (NVI)
