26/11 mastermind and LeT’s deputy leader Abdul Rehman Makki dies in Pakistan – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Mastermind of 26/11 Mumbai attacks Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki, the brother-in-law of Hafiz Saeed and deputy chief of the banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), passed away in Lahore on Friday after suffering a heart attack.
Makki, who had been unwell in recent days, was undergoing treatment for severe diabetes at a private hospital.
A Jamaat-ud-Dawa official confirmed the news to PTI, saying, “Makki suffered a cardiac arrest early this morning and he breathed his last in the hospital.”
In 2020, an anti-terrorism court handed Makki a six-month imprisonment sentence for terror financing. Following his conviction, he maintained a low profile, avoiding public appearances.
In January 2023, the UNSC designated Abdul Rehman Makki as a global terrorist. This designation subjected him to an assets freeze, travel ban, and arms embargo under the UN sanctions regime.
The move followed years of allegations that Makki played a significant role in fundraising and supporting militant activities under the guise of JuD’s operations.
