[LongWarJournal] Indian security forces killed a notorious Jaish-e-Mohammed "chief operational commander" earlier this week in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan continues to aid terrorist groups operating in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.The commander, who went by the alias Abu "Khalid," or Shahid Showkat, was highly sought by Indian security forces for his role in orchestrating attacks targeting Indian military positions and personnel.
Indian press reports detailed that Khalid exchanged small arms fire with security forces before he was trapped in a house and eventually killed by Jammu and Kashmir police near the Sapore district. Later reports suggested that a former love interest of Khalid’s provided tips to police about his planned attacks and potential whereabouts, which ultimately led to his killing.
