Once again unknown attackers have spread their terror in Lahore, Pakistan. Aamir Hamza, one of the founding members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, has been fatally attacked by unknown gunmen. Hamza was shot with bullets. At present his condition is said to be serious, he is admitted in ICU. This shooting took place outside a news channel in Lahore. Hamaz, the mastermind of many attacks in India, is included in the list of dreaded terrorists.
According to police sources, the attack took place outside the office of a news channel in Lahore. Unknown assailants suddenly fired on Aamir Hamza, after which Hamza was admitted to a nearby hospital in a critical condition. The hospital administration has not yet issued any official statement regarding his health. This is big news for India because it had formed the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist organization in collaboration with terrorist Hafeez Saeed. This organization has carried out many terrorist attacks in India.
Who is Aamir Hamza, close to Hafiz Saeed?
Let us tell you that Aamir Hamza is a terrorist declared by the US Treasury Department. He has been very close to Hafiz Saeed. Hafiz Saeed is among the most wanted terrorists of India and Lashkar is accused of many major terrorist attacks in India. Aamir Hamza has also been linked to several terrorist incidents in India.
Recruited in the early stages of terrorist mobilization, Hamza went on to become one of the organization’s most influential propagandists. He was once the editor of Lashkar-e-Taiba’s official publication and played a key role in producing the ideological literature that fueled the organization’s recruitment process. Through books, speeches and publications, Hamza promoted extremist ideas that allowed Lashkar to spread its influence across Pakistan.
Formed a new organization after separating from Lashkar
In 2018, amid increased international surveillance and financial crackdown on Lashkar-e-Taiba affiliated organizations, Hamza reportedly separated himself from the main organization and formed a separate faction named ‘Jaish-e-Manakfa’. The group is believed to have operated as a parallel channel to continue terrorist activities under a new name and maintain financial transactions.
Has been active in Pakistan for a long time
Even after his separation from the organization, Hamza continued to have relations with the top leadership of Lashkar. Despite being designated a global terrorist by the US in 2012, Hamza remained active in radical circles in Pakistan. Its ability to remain active, publish, and allegedly maintain links to extremist networks despite international sanctions has often been cited as evidence of the infrastructure available to extremist groups in the country.
India has a big hand in terrorist attacks
Lashkar is a big terrorist organization based in Pakistan and Hamza is its founding member. It was founded in the late 1980s under the leadership of Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and Hamza is considered very close to Hafiz Saeed. This organization has carried out several terrorist attacks in India, including the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks.
