BESIDES the kin of Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Maulana Masood Azhar including his brother Rauf Azhar, a few more hardcore terrorists affiliated to terror outfits Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and JeM were killed in Indian strikes in Pakistan under 'Operation Sindoor' on May 7, Indian agencies have confirmed.
Sources in the agencies said, they have a verifiable input that one among the five designated terrorists, who were neutralised in the air strike, was LeT member Mudassar Khadian Khas, also known as Abu Jundal. He was in charge of Markaz Taiba at Muridke in Narowal district of Pakistan.
The sources said the wreaths were laid at his funeral along with other deceased LeT operatives on behalf of Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, as the prayer event was held at a government school.
