A top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative, Saifullah Khalid, accused of orchestrating several high-profile terror attacks in India, has been killed in Pakistan’s Sindh province.
He was attacked by some unknown assailants.
Khalid was a key conspirator in three major attacks: the 2001 CRPF camp assault in Rampur, the 2005 Indian Science Congress (ISC) attack in Bangalore, and the 2006 attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Nagpur.
These attacks, carried out over a span of five years, claimed several lives and marked a massive escalation in LeT’s operations on Indian soil.
Operating under the alias “Vinode Kumar,” Khalid was based in Nepal for several years, where he lived under a false identity and married a local woman, Nagma Banu.
