Shahid Latif, a top Jaish-e-Mohammad commander and key handler in the 2016 Pathankot air base attack in India, was shot dead in Pakistan's Sialkot on Tuesday, Indian officials said. Latif was in touch with the four attackers during the assault that killed seven Indian personnel. He was designated a terrorist by India and faced an Interpol red notice. His killing comes after India handed evidence to Pakistan linking Latif and other JeM members to the Pathankot attack. However, Pakistan failed to act on the dossier or share proof with India. Latif's death provides some closure for India over the attack.
