India-Pakistan war: Lashkar chief Hafiz Saeed moved by ISI, Pakistan Army amid fears of impending Indian attack, shifted to secret location in...
India-Pakistan war: The Pakistan Army and the Inter-Services Intelligence– the country's notorious spy agency– has reportedly moved Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed to secret location, amid fears of an impending covert attack on the dreaded terrorist by Indian agencies.
According to a media report, Pakistani agencies have beefed up the security Hafiz Saeed, fearing India might target the Lashkar chief in a covert manner to avenge the barbaric Pahalgam terror attack which was initially claimed by LeT-linked The Resistance Front (TRF) terror group, who later backtracked from their statement. Hafiz Saeed moved to another location
Hafiz Saeed, a radical Islamist cleric and a UN-designated global terrorist, has been moved from his home in Mohalla Johar in Lahore, and shifted to a small house, guarded by former SSG commandos, in a densely populated area of the city, Firstpost reported. As per the report, Hafiz Saeed's house in Mohalla Johar is still guarded by a huge number of security personnel, presumably to throw off Indian agencies.
Hafiz Saeed, the notorious founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group, is one of the most wanted terrorists in India as he is believed to be the mastermind of several deadly terror attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai attack. Saeed, who is designated as a global terrorist by the United Nations, is rarely seen in public and is believed to reside in Mohalla Johar, Lahore, which also serves as a sub-jail. Saeed was 'arrested' in 2019
The notorious Lashkar chief was 'arrested' by Pakistani agencies in 2019, and kept under 'protective custody', but has appeared in public more than two dozen times in the last three years. Saeed has been convicted in two terror financing cases (in 2020, and April 2022), and sentenced to 46 years in jail, with the court ruling that both sentences should run simultaneously.
However, despite his 'arrest', which India terms as farcical, Hafiz Saeed moves freely, and is often sighted in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), accompanied by a heavy security cover. There are also report claiming Saeed allegedly visited terror training camps in Bahawalpur and Rawalkot, days ahead of the Pahalgam attack.
Saeed's Lahore house, where he is officially under 'arrest', is a high-security zone, monitored by a dedicated control room, and 24/7 CCTV surveillance that monitors the entire area within a one-kilometer radius.
