Lashkar-e-Taiba/Jamaat-ud-Dawa founding member Amir Hamza survived an ambush by unidentified gunmen on a motorcycle on Peco Road in Lahore, Pakistan, sustaining only minor injuries. Soon after the attack, Hamza held a meeting with Lahore police chief and Talha Saeed, the son of LeT chief Hafiz Saeed, while sources claim the alleged attackers have been detained. Early inputs suggest the incident could be a pre-planned drama orchestrated by Pakistani handlers or stem from personal rivalries within the militant organization.
