In a significant development, Maulana Abdul Aziz Issar, a senior commander of the terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed and a key figure in anti-India terror propaganda, has been found dead in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. His death has raised eyebrows due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding it.
According to initial reports, Issar was a resident of Ashrafwala in the Kallur Kot area of Bhakkar district, located in Punjab province of Pakistan. He was known for his efforts to radicalize and incite anti-India sentiments among militants and was considered one of the most wanted terrorists on the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) list in India.
Local authorities have reportedly stated that Issar died of a heart attack, though the exact cause of death remains unconfirmed, leading to speculation over potential foul play or internal conflict.
Issar's death is considered a major blow to Jaish-e-Mohammed, the Pakistan-based terror outfit responsible for several attacks on Indian soil. He played a pivotal role in recruiting and indoctrinating operatives, as well as coordinating with other extremist factions.
Authorities in both India and Pakistan have yet to release detailed statements regarding the death, but intelligence agencies are closely monitoring the aftermath and potential implications.
