Top JeM Commander Found Dead Under Mysterious Circumstances In Pakistan’s Bahawalpur

by aweeincm

<p>A top commander of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) was found dead under mysterious circumstances in the Punjab province of Pakistan.</p>
<p>Abdul Aziz Isar &mdash; a trusted aide of Jaish founder Masood Azhar for over three decades &mdash; died under mysterious circumstances on Monday morning around 10:30 am in Bahawalpur, according to intelligence sources.</p>
<p>The death of the Jaish-e-Mohammed commander has given another major jolt to the terror group, operating&nbsp;</p>
<p>His death marks the second significant setback for the group within a month, following India&rsquo;s recent strike in which 14 members of Masood Azhar’s family were killed.</p>
<h3>Who Is Abdul Aizaz Isar?</h3>
<p>Abdul Aziz Isar was a veteran member of JeM&rsquo;s Central Shura &mdash; the group&rsquo;s highest decision-making body &mdash; which plans major terror attacks, selects targets, and approves operations, especially against India.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Intelligence officials have described him as a key architect of the group&rsquo;s military strategy and ideological indoctrination.</p>
<p>He had been overseeing Markaz Taleem, JeM&rsquo;s primary training and radicalisation centre in the Tangir area of Gilgit-Baltistan, a region under Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The camp served as a hub for grooming young recruits and disseminating jihadist propaganda under his supervision.</p>
<h3>Three Decades With Masood Azhar</h3>
<p>Originally from Ashrafwala village in Pakistan&rsquo;s Bhakkar district, Isar joined Azhar&rsquo;s jihadist network in the 1990s. Known for his loyalty and operational acumen, he rose swiftly through the ranks to become one of JeM&rsquo;s most influential figures, with a central role in planning attacks across Kashmir.</p>
<h3>Burial At Bombed-Out Jaish Compound</h3>
<p>Sources told ABP News that Isar&rsquo;s namaz-e-janaza was held at 8:48 pm on Monday within the premises of JeM&rsquo;s headquarters, Markaz Subhanallah. The site, including its main building and madrasa, had been targeted and destroyed in an Indian Army strike on 7 May.</p>
<p>Isar was buried in the same compound where 14 members of Azhar&rsquo;s family were laid to rest following the earlier operation.</p>
