Amir Hamza, a founding member of the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, was shot by unidentified gunmen in Lahore on April 16. The attack occurred outside a news channel office, where assailants on a motorcycle opened fire before fleeing. Hamza was rushed to a hospital and is reported to be in critical condition. This marks the second attempt on his life within a year, raising concerns over internal rivalries or targeted attacks. A key ideologue of the group, Hamza has been linked to multiple terror activities and remains a sanctioned individual internationally. (PC: NDTV)
