The Story in Brief
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Qari Saeed alias Abdul Aziz has died after collapsing at Masjid Quba in Islamabad. CCTV footage, accessed by ABPLive, shows him performing ablution before climbing the stairs to the prayer hall, where he suddenly fell. Other LeT cadres attempted CPR but could not revive him. He was declared dead at a hospital.
Qari Saeed headed the LeT’s Shoaba-e-Warasa-e-Shuhada department for South Punjab, responsible for delivering monthly pensions to families of terrorists killed in India, ABPLive reports. India TV reports he had eaten at an undisclosed location before arriving at the mosque. The cause of death is not yet clear. He had been associated with LeT founder Hafiz Saeed since 1990.
The Indian Opinion
The sudden death of a senior LeT commander on Pakistani soil will inevitably feed conspiracy theories on both sides. Some will see a botched assassination or a heart attack brought on by stress; others will insist it was divine justice. Caution is necessary. The only concrete test is the post-mortem report and any independent investigation Pakistan permits. Until then, the loudest claims deserve the deepest scepticism.
