Intelligence Reports Indicate Lashkar-e-Taiba Expansion in Sindh and Punjab Provinces
Intelligence reports indicate a renewed expansion of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) network in Pakistan's Sindh and Punjab provinces. Senior LeT figures, including Saifullah Qasuri and Hafiz Talha Saeed, have increased public visibility through rallies, community visits, and political engagements. Over seven new markaz and mosque facilities have reportedly been established in Sindh in the past six months, raising concerns about recruitment, fundraising, and mobilisation. Security agencies are investigating these developments amid reports of police-protected convoys accompanying LeT leaders.
