Masood Azhar, the leader of Jaish-e-Mohammed, was reportedly killed in a bomb blast carried out by unidentified individuals. The incident occurred around 5 am when some unknown persons were returning from a mosque in Bahawalpur. Azhar, born on July 10, 1968, in Pakistan's Punjab province, faced charges related to the Kandahar plane hijacking and the attack on the Indian Parliament on December 13, 2001. He is considered India's most wanted terrorist and was one of the perpetrators of the Indian Airlines flight hijacking to Kandahar.
A common thread among these attacks is the utilization of motorcycles by unidentified assailants to target specific terrorists, employing both shooting and explosive methods in some instances. A parallel discussion emerged on social media recently, focusing on the notorious underworld figure Dawood Ibrahim. Reports indicated that Dawood had been poisoned, leading to his admission to a Karachi hospital for treatment. It was suggested that access to Dawood is restricted, with only a limited number of individuals permitted to meet him.
