Lashkar-e-Taiba Commander Used Honey to Treat Bullet Wounds in Kashmir Hideout
Mohd Asif, alias Hashim Moosa, a top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander and former Pakistan Army SSG commando, was killed in a high-altitude operation in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam district. Moosa sustained bullet wounds during an earlier encounter in Rajouri and reportedly used pure honey, known for its Ayurvedic healing properties, to treat his injuries while hiding in forests due to lack of medical access. Photos of his honey-treated wounds were recovered and sent to handlers in Pakistan. The operation lasted over 45 days, targeting Moosa and his associate Yasir.
