News India Live, Digital Desk: For India’s enemies sitting in Pakistan, the fear of ‘unknown attackers’ is not diminishing. The latest case has come to light from Lahore, where Amir Hamza, the founding member of the banned terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the closest associate of Hafiz Saeed, has been targeted. According to reports, motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire on Hamza outside the office of a news channel in Lahore on Thursday. Hamza was badly injured in this attack, who has been taken to the hospital, where his condition remains very critical.
Hamza is the ‘mastermind’ and ideological guru of Lashkar
Amir Hamza is not an ordinary terrorist, but is the ‘brain’ of Lashkar-e-Taiba who had supported Hafiz Saeed in laying the foundation of the organization. He is considered the strategic brain of the organization. Hamza not only plans terrorist attacks, but is also the ideological guide of Lashkar. He has played a major role in brainwashing the youth and instigating them into the fire of Jihad and raising international funding for the organization. In view of his terrorist activities, America had declared him a ‘global terrorist’ long ago.
Lahore shaken by rapid firing: full story of the attack
According to eyewitnesses and local reports, the incident took place when Amir Hamza was standing outside the office of a news channel in Lahore. Then suddenly unknown gunmen riding a motorcycle reached there and started firing indiscriminately targeting Hamza. The attackers targeted with such precision that Hamza did not even get a chance to recover. After committing the crime the attackers fled from the spot. Although he was immediately rushed to the hospital, doctors described his condition as critical.
Increased heartbeat of security agencies: Is this a ‘targeted operation’?
This attack on Amir Hamza has become a big headache for the security and intelligence agencies of Pakistan. It is noteworthy that in the last one year, many top commanders of organizations like Lashkar and Jaish-e-Mohammed within Pakistan have been killed in a similar manner by unknown assailants. Hamza was also fatally attacked last year, after which his security was tightened. Despite this, this open firing has exposed Pakistani claims. There is discussion whether this is mutual rivalry between terrorist groups or a planned ‘targeted killing’.
The biggest pillar of Lashkar’s propaganda system
Hamza wrote several radical books for Lashkar and also edited their publications. In 2018, when Lashkar was tightened due to international pressure, it was Hamza who conspired to keep the terrorist network alive through new mask organizations. Hamza being injured or killed is such a blow to Lashkar-e-Taiba that it will not be possible for Hafiz Saeed to compensate. At present, heavy security forces have been deployed in Lahore and the search for the attackers is going on.
