Former Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Akram Khan, also known as Akram Gazi, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Pakistan on Thursday. Gazi led LeT's recruitment from 2018-2020 and gave anti-India speeches. He was a key figure in the terror group for years. In October, Shahid Latif, the mastermind of 2016's Pathankot Airbase attack in India, was also killed in Pakistan. Latif handled the 4 attackers. Gazi headed LeT recruitment, identifying extremist sympathizers. Earlier in September, top LeT commander Riyaz Ahmad was gunned down in a PoK mosque. Ahmad was involved in attacks on India.
