UN-Designated Terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki Dies in Lahore

Makki, brother-in-law of 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, suffered a heart attack while undergoing treatment for diabetes.

Abdul Rehman Makki, a senior figure in Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and deputy chief of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), passed away in Lahore after a cardiac arrest.
Makki was designated a global terrorist by the United Nations in 2023, subjecting him to an asset freeze, travel ban, and arms embargo.
He was linked to the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, which killed 166 people, and other major attacks, including the 2000 Red Fort attack in India.
Makki faced terror financing charges in Pakistan and was sentenced to six months in prison in 2020; however, his activities drew international scrutiny for years.
The U.S. had offered a $2 million reward for information on Makki, citing his role in funding LeT operations and his involvement in global terrorism.
