The Story in Brief
Senior Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Qari Saeed Abdul Aziz, a key planner of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, collapsed and died outside the Quba Mosque in Islamabad on August 8. He had eaten at an unfamiliar restaurant shortly before his sudden collapse, sparking speculation about poisoning.
Aziz led an LeT unit that maintained communication channels and provided financial support to families of terrorists killed in Jammu and Kashmir. His death is the latest in a string of terror operative killings in Pakistan. Times Now reports that another LeT operative recently claimed Indian agencies had killed 30-40 of their men in the past three-four years.
The Indian Opinion
The unverified poisoning theory and the LeT operative’s claim of Indian agency involvement feed a convenient blame game on both sides. But without a post-mortem report or credible investigation, jumping to conclusions helps no one. The real test will be whether Pakistan releases an independent cause of death, and whether the broader pattern of internal terror feuds gets as much attention as cross-border allegations.
