US-Designated Lashkar-e-Taiba Leader Muhammad Sarwar Dies in Lahore
Muhammad Sarwar, designated as a global terrorist by the US Treasury Department in 2016 for his role in Lashkar-e-Taiba's fundraising, died in Lahore while en route to a mosque. The Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML), a political offshoot of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, confirmed his death but did not specify the cause. Reports suggest he died from a head injury after falling down stairs. Sarwar's funeral was held at JuD headquarters, with party leaders expressing grief over the loss of their leader.
