Lashkar-e-Taiba Commanders Linked to Recent Targeted Killings in Jammu and Kashmir
Security agencies have identified Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Latif Bhat and his aide Waris Shah as likely responsible for recent targeted killings in Jammu and Kashmir, including the deaths of two Hindu migrant workers in Kulgam. The attacks involved small-caliber weapons and followed a pattern of hit-and-run tactics linked to local militants. Intelligence also connects Lahore-based LeT commander Sajid Jutt to the planning of these strikes. Authorities continue investigations amid concerns of further attacks in the region, while relief has been announced for victims' families.
