Mumbai terror attack plotter and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) deputy chief Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki died on Friday, December 27, in Pakistan after suffering a heart attack, sources told India Today TV.
Makki had been ill for the past few days and was undergoing treatment for diabetes at a private hospital in Lahore.
Makki was involved in providing financing for the 26/11 Mumbai Terror attacks which left 166 people killed. A total of nine terrorists were also killed in counter-terror operations and one terrorist, Amir Ajmal Kasab, was caught alive.
In January 2023, Kasab was also declared a global terrorist by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
Apart from the Mumbai terror attacks, Makki was also a wanted terrorist in India by the security agencies for his involvement in the Red Fort attack, where six (LeT) terrorists had stormed Red Fort on December 22, 2000, and had opened fire on the security forces guarding the Fort.
In 2018, Makki’s terror organization, LeT, was also involved in the murder of senior journalist and editor-in-chief of Rising Kashmir newspaper, Shujaat Bukhari, and his two security guards.
