Targeting Jaish-e-Mohammed Network
Maulana Sher Bahadur's death comes after the recent killing of Jaish-e-Mohammed commander Yunus Khan by unknown individuals. Khan was actively involved in recruitment for the organisation. His demise adds to the challenges faced by Jaish, known for its involvement in various acts of terrorism.
Maulana Rahimullah Tariq, another Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist closely associated with Maulana Masood Azhar, was previously murdered. He was among one of the most wanted Indian terrorists.
Lashkar-e-Taiba's Former Commander Killed
Akram Khan, former commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba, met a similar fate in Bajaur. Also known as Akram Ghazi, he was involved in recruitment for Lashkar, and was eliminated by a group of individuals in broad daylight.
These targeted killings are suspected to be a part of a trend, with other terrorists like Mufti Qaiser Farooq, Khalistani terrorist Paramjeet Singh Panjwad, Ajaz Ahmed Ahangar, Bashir Ahmed Peer, Shahid Latif and Syed Khalid Raza falling victim to unidentified assailants. The attacks are contributing to an atmosphere of unease and internal strife among terrorist networks.
