Lashkar-e-Taiba's most wanted terrorist, Abu Qatal, was murdered in Pakistan on Mar 15 night. Qatal, a key operative of the terror outfit, was known for planning multiple attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.

Abu Qatal, who is a close aide of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed, played a crucial role in the June 9 attack on a bus carrying pilgrims returning from the Shiv Khori temple in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district. The attack was orchestrated under Qatal’s leadership.

It was Hafiz Saeed who appointed Abu Qatal as Lashkar's Chief Operational Commander. Hafiz Saeed used to give orders to Abu Qatal, who then executed major attacks in Kashmir.
