Abu Katal, also known as Faisal Nadeem, a key figure in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and the mastermind behind the 2023 Jammu-Kashmir attacks, was shot dead in Pakistan. Unidentified gunmen ambushed his vehicle, leading to his death. Nadeem, identified by Indian authorities as a Lashkar-e-Taiba operative, was accused of orchestrating the attack in Rajouri, Jammu & Kashmir, which resulted in seven deaths and several injuries. Reports indicate that he was active in Kashmir in the early 2000s before retreating to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
