Sheikh Yousaf Afridi, a senior Lashkar-e-Taiba commander and close aide of Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Landi Kotal, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The attack occurred Sunday with no group claiming responsibility. Afridi was a key figure in LeT's recruitment and coordination in the region and was described as a prominent Salafi scholar.
