Key LeT Terrorist Killed By Unidentified Gunmen In Sindh

A top Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist, Razaullah Nizamani Khalid, also known as Abu Saifullah Khalid, was shot dead by three unidentified assailants in Pakistan’s Sindh province on Sunday. He was believed to be the mastermind behind the 2006 attack on the RSS headquarters.

Khalid left his residence at Matli this afternoon and was shot down by assailants near a crossing at Badni in Sindh province, PTI reported citing officials.

A close associate of Abu Anas of Lashkar, Khalid headed the terror operations of LeT from Nepal in early 2000s and had many aliases including Vinode Kumar, Mohammed Salim, and Razaullah. He was involved in multiple terror attacks in India, news agency PTI reported.

Besides the RSS attack, Khalid was involved in the Indian Institute of Science terror attack of 2005 in Bengaluru, in which IIT professor Munish Chandra Puri was killed and four others sustained injuries.

Khalid had been tasked by the LeT and Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) to recruit new members from Sindh’s Badin and Hyderabad districts and to raise funds for the group. He was also working closely with LeT's "launching commanders," Azam Cheema alias Babaji and Yaqoob (LeT's chief accountant).

According to local media reports from Sindh, the Lashkar terrorist was declared dead on arrival at the hospital after being shot. The incident has been described in some reports as a result of personal enmity.
