Razaullah Nizamani Khalid alias Abu Saifullah, a key terrorist associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has been killed in Pakistan's Sindh province, a new report said on Sunday.
According to a report by news agency PTI, Razaullah Nizamani Khalid, who was a top mind behind orchestrating several high-profile terror attacks in India, was attacked by ‘unknown assilants’.
Khalid, who had been provided security by the Pakistani government, had left his residence at Matli in Sindh this afternoon and he was gunned down by assailants near a crossing, officials said.
Over a span of five years between 2001 and 2006, Razaullah Nizamani Khalid orchestrated three major attacks in India. These include – the CRPF camp assault in Rampur in 2001, the Indian Science Congress (ISC) attack in Bengaluru in 2005, and the 2006 attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Nagpur.
The attacks claimed numerous Indian lives and saw a skyrocketing escalation in LeT's operation on the country's soil.
Using the alias “Vinode Kumar”, Khalid spent several years living in Nepal. There, he lived under a flase identity and married a woman named Nagma Banu, India Today reported.
Razaullah Nizamani is believed to have coordinated activities for the terror outfit LeT from Nepal. As per the report, he maintained a low profile and apparently played a key role in logistics as well as recruitment of members.
The LeT terrorist had more recently shifted his base to Matli in the Badin district of Sindh province in Pakistan. Following that, he continued to work for Lashkar-e-Taiba as well as its front organisation Jamaat-ud-Dawa.
His focus in Sindh was on recruitment and fund collections for orchestrating terror attacks, as per India Today
The Lashkar-e-Taiba (also known as Jama'at-ud-Da'awa) is based in Muridke near Lahore in Pakistan and is headed by Hafiz Muhammad Saeed.
Formed in 1990 in the Kunar province of Afghanistan, the LeT's first presence in Jammu and Kashmir was recorded in 1993 when 12 Pakistani and Afghan terrorists infiltrated across the Line of Control (LoC) in tandem with the Islami Inquilabi Mahaz, a terrorist outfit then active in the Poonch district.
