The Story in Brief
Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Qari Saeed Abdul Aziz, a planner of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, collapsed and died near a mosque entrance in Islamabad on August 8. Times of India reports that Aziz had eaten at an unfamiliar location shortly before his sudden collapse. He was pronounced dead at the spot, with the cause unclear. Local authorities have not denied poisoning, but a medical emergency cannot be ruled out. Within LeT, Aziz ran a division that handled communications and financial support for families of terrorists killed in encounters with Indian security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Indian Opinion
The death of a key 26/11 plotter in Islamabad will inevitably stir conspiracy theories of poison, but India should resist premature celebration or finger-pointing. Pakistan has a long history of terrorists dying in custody or hospitals without transparent autopsies. The real test is whether Islamabad conducts a credible, independent post-mortem and shares even basic findings with India. Until then, this is just another murky death in a murky system.
