Razaullah Nizamani, a key Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander and mastermind behind several deadly attacks, including the infamous 2006 RSS headquarters assault, has been killed by unidentified attackers in Pakistan. His death marks a significant blow to the terrorist organization. Nizamani, also known as Abu Saifullah Khalid, played a critical role in planning and executing high-profile operations targeting Indian interests, and was deeply involved in LeT's recruitment and logistical activities across the Indo-Nepal border.
