JAMMU, Oct 1: Mufti Qaiser Farooq, a close associate of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed has been killed by unidentified gunmen in Karachi in Pakistan, a report received here said.
The killing came just days after Maulana Zia-ur-Rehman, also affiliated to the LeT, was also eliminated by two motorcycle-borne youths during evening walk in Karachi.
In another development, Kamaluddin Saeed, one of the sons of Hafiz Saeed, has also been missing since September 26 and was reportedly abducted in Peshawar by miscreants who came in a car.
Previously, another individual linked to the ISI, Paramjit Singh Panjwar, who is the leader of the Khalistan Commando Force, was also killed in Pakistan.
In February, Hizbul Mujahideen suffered a blow when its launch commander and a close associate of Syed Salahuddin, Bashir Peer, was killed in Rawalpindi by unknown assailants near the ISI headquarters and the military garrison.
He was shot at close range and succumbed to his injuries on the spot.
Following these recent killings, Pakistan’s ISI has relocated several of its “assets” to secure locations, causing unease within the country’s military-industrial complex.
Approximately a dozen of these individuals have been moved to designated “safe houses” by the ISI.
