The mysterious killing of some of the terrorists inside Pakistan, who had been engaged in anti-India activities, had spooked Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), The Times of India reported on September 29 quoting sources. Maulana Ziaur Rahman, a prominent cleric, was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne assailants in Block 16 of Gulistan-e-Jauhar area in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh, on September 12. Rehman was reported to be the administrator of Jamia Abi Bakar, a seminary in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. Ziaur Rahman was a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative. Rahman's assassination follows a series of attacks on religious preachers in Karachi, all of them associated with terror groups through ISI and involved in radicalising youths and bringing them to the launch pad from where they are unleashed on India. Paramjit Singh Panjwar, chief of Khalistan Commando Force (KCF), who was wanted by India for terrorism, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Lahore in Punjab on May 6. The similarity in the two killings has led the ISI, to put around a dozen of its "assets" in "safe houses", said sources who have been tracking the developments. Perhaps, the precaution would have been deemed even more necessary because of the killings of two other LeT operatives - Abu Qasim Kashmiri in Rawalkot and Qari Khurram Shehzad in Nazimabad - in September. Abu Qasim Kashmiri who was a top LeT terrorist ‘commander’ was shot dead by unidentified assailants inside Al-Qudus mosque in Rawalkot town of Poonch District in Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoK). On September 6, Qari Khurram Shahzad, a seminary teacher was shot dead in North Nazimabad of Karachi. Those on what appears to be a growing list include Khalid Raza, formerly associated with Al-Badar. Khalid Raza (55), former commander of Al Badr outfit, was shot dead outside his residence in Block-7 of Gulistan-e-Jauhar town in Karachi in the evening of February 26. Syed Khalid Raza was the deputy director of the Darul Arqam Schools in Karachi region. However, Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA) claimed responsibility of his killing. On March 1, Mistry Zahoor Ibrahim, an IC-814 Indian Airlines hijacker, was shot dead inside a furniture store in Karachi's Akbar Colony. The Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist was shot twice in the head by unidentified gunmen from point-blank range.
