Lashkar-e-Taiba Commander Qari Saeed Abdul Aziz Dies Mysteriously in Islamabad
A man named Qari Saeed Abdul Aziz was an important leader of a group called Lashkar-e-Taiba, which some report as a terrorist organization.
He was reported to have helped plan attacks in Mumbai, India, a long time ago.
On August 8, he went to a mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan, to pray.
Before that, he ate at a restaurant he had never visited before.
Suddenly, he collapsed at the gate of the mosque.
Other people ran to help him and tried to give him CPR, but he died.
Nobody knows yet why he died.
Cameras recorded the whole thing.
Just a few days earlier, another leader from the same group said that more than 30 of their members had been killed by unknown gunmen.
Some people suspect those gunmen had ties to India, but this has not been proven.
Senior Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Qari Saeed Abdul Aziz died under mysterious circumstances in Islamabad, Pakistan, on August 8.
He reportedly ate at an unfamiliar restaurant before collapsing and dying at the gate of Quba Mosque, where he had gone to pray.
CCTV footage shows Abdul Aziz removing his slippers and suddenly collapsing, with bystanders rushing to perform CPR.
He headed Lashkar-e-Taiba's Shoba-e-Warsah-e-Shohada department in South Punjab, which provided monthly pensions to families of terrorists killed in India, according to ABP News.
Reports link him to the planning of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks; his death followed a viral video in which LET commander Rizwan Hanif blamed 'unknown gunmen' allegedly linked to India for killing 30+ outfit members.
