Islamabad: Mohammad Tahir Anwar, brother of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar, has died in Pakistan, with no clarity yet on the cause of his death.
Tahir Anwar was closely associated with JeM and had been active in the outfit’s operations for years. His death was confirmed through the group’s official channel. As of now, there is no official word on the cause of Tahir Anwar’s death, with no mention of illness or any specific incident so far, according to sources, raising questions.
JeM has been linked to several major attacks in India, including the 2001 Parliament attack, the 2016 Pathankot airbase strike, the Uri attack that killed 19 soldiers, and the 2019 Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed.
