Khalid Saifullah is close aide of terrorist Hafiz Saeed. Till now, no organisation or person has taken the responsibility of this attack.
Last week, a Jihadist linked to Hafiz Saeed's identified as Sardar Hussain was shot dead by nationalist militants of Sindh in Karachi.
Pakistan media reported that Sardar Hussain of Jama'at-ud-Da'wah' was killed near his shop last week and succumbed to injuries four days later in hospital on August 5.
Notably, newly-created Sindhudesh Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for the assassination of Jama'at-ud-Da'wah' member. "Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army claims the responsibility of attack on the Jamait-ul- Dawa (Lashkar e Taiba) Leader and Punja- bi Settler 'Sardar Hussain Arain'," it said in a letter.
This year several anti-India Kashmir-focussed militants have been assassinated in Pakistan. The Jihadists killed were affiliated with Hizbul Mujahideen and Al-Badr Mujahideen. In February this year, Khalid Raza of Al-Badr was killed in Karachi by unidentified gunmen. In the same month, Imitaz Alam alias Bashir Peer of Hizbul Mujahideen was killed in Rawalpindi.
In March 2022, Indian airlines IC-814 hijacker Zahoor Mistry was assassinated in Karachi. In 2021, there was an explosion outside the residence of 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed in Lahore.
