Pakistan-based LeT’s deputy leader Abdul Rehman Makki dies
Lahore: Mumbai attacks alleged mastermind Hafiz Saeed’s brother-in-law and banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa deputy chief Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki died of heart attack here on Friday.
According to the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), Prof Abdul Rahman Makki had been ill for the past few days and was undergoing treatment following high diabetes at a private hospital in Lahore.
“Makki suffered a cardiac arrest early this morning and he breathed his last in the hospital,” a JuD official told PTI.

In 2023, Makki was designated as a global terrorist by the United Nations, subjecting him to an assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo.
