Accusations of International Assassinations: Pakistan Claims Indian Agents Targeted Terror Associates on Pakistani Soil
x

Pakistan has accused Indian agents of being involved in the assassinations of two Pakistani citizens, Shahid Latif and Muhammad Riaz, on Pakistani soil. The killings, which were targeted at individuals associated with the terror outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, were described as coordinated, international operations. Foreign Secretary Muhammad Syrus Qazi stated there was credible evidence linking Indian agents to the killings, with one agent, Yogesh Kumar, being accused of orchestrating the assassination of Latif from a third country.

This comes in the wake of similar accusations from Canada and the United States, with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly linking Indian intelligence agencies to the death of a Canadian citizen, and the United States charging an Indian national with plotting to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader on US soil. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has denied these allegations, calling them "false and malicious." There have been no immediate comments from the Ministry of External Affairs following Pakistan's latest accusations.
