Terror Group LeT Diverts Flood Relief Funds to Rebuild Headquarters Hit by Air Strikes
Intelligence reports indicate that the banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is diverting funds collected for flood relief to reconstruct its headquarters in Muridke, Pakistan. The facility, Markaz Taiba, was severely damaged during an Indian Air Force strike (Operation Sindoor) on May 7. LeT's charity front, Khidmat-e-Khalaq, is reportedly leading the fundraising campaign under the guise of humanitarian aid. This tactic of using disaster relief as a cover for terror infrastructure has been used by the group previously. Despite international sanctions, these outfits continue to operate by frequently changing their names and exploiting humanitarian crises.
