Zia-ur-Rehman, a notorious Lashkar-e-Taiba commander, has been killed in Pakistan, ending his connection to numerous attacks across the Jammu and Kashmir region. Rehman was considered a major figure within LeT, directly linked to its founder Hafiz Saeed.

Among his infamous actions were orchestrating attacks on Hindu minorities and leading an assault on an Army unit, as confirmed by the National Investigation Agency's probes. The LeT commander's death comes amid a series of recent eliminations of terrorist leaders in Pakistan.
