JAISH-E-MOHAMMAD (JeM) terror outfit chief, Azhar Masood admitted that ten of his family members and four others were killed in the missile strikes launched by the Indian Armed Forces during ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the wee hours of Wednesday. In an Urdu statement released to the media, Masood said, “Ten members of my family, including five children, my elder sister and her husband, my Islamic scholar nephew, his wife and my niece in addition to this, my old friend Hazifa, his mother and two other colleagues were killed.” He alleged that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had targeted the innocent. “I am grieved beyond words, but I am neither sorry, nor afraid. I have been praying to Allah that I should have been included in these 14 guests of Allah who become martyrs today.” “The killings have not dampened our resolve.

 

They (Indians) should not expect any mercy from us now. “The fallen minaret of Subhanullah mosque will finally fall on the Indian people in such a manner that their future generations won’t be able to forget,” he threatened. In the same statement, the JeM chief said that the funeral prayers of these 14 killed in Indian strikes would be held at 4 pm. Bahawalpur became the hub of the JeM after the release of Azhar in exchange for the hijacked passengers of IC-814 in 1999.
