LeT co-founder Amir Hamza shot at in Lahore, second incident in a year

As per the police, two unidentified gunmen opened fire on the vehicle of the TV channel 24 NewsHD, owned by Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, news agency PTI reported. The channel's religious programme host Justice (ret) Nazir Ahmed Ghazi and Hamza were in the vehicle. While Hamza suffered bullet injuries to his arm, Ghazi remained unhurt.

The latest attack on Hamza was the second such attack after the LeT leader was shot in May last year.

Hamza is the second most important leader in LeT after its chief Hafiz Saeed, who has been in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail since 2019. Saeed was convicted of several years in terror financing cases.
