LAHORE: Pakistani law enforcement personnel on Friday shot dead former Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Dr Muaz alias Omar Kundi, who allegedly masterminded the May 2009 attack on the headquarters of the Inter-Services Intelligence in Lahore.

Intelligence agencies located Mauz in Faisalabad city of Punjab province on the basis of information provided by one of his close associates who was arrested recently, a senior police officer in Faisalabad said.

Authorities used the detained associate to convey a message to doctor Mauz that he should provide weapons for carrying out an attack on the ISI office in Faisalabad, located about 100 km from Lahore.

When Mauz and his accomplice Adil came in a rickshaw to supply the weapons, they were intercepted and killed by commandos hardly a kilometre from the ISI office on University Road.

“Both Mauz and Adil were killed on the spot when they tried to open fire,” said the police officer, who asked not to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media. Muaz completed his MBBS from Punjab Medical College in Faisalabad during 2004-05. He subsequently joined the LeT and became the “amir” (chief) of the banned group in the district.

Good if true, but would like a non-hindi source to verify. Local news would have reported a shooting.

I was about to say. The addition of the rickshaw as a getaway vehicle gives it away as a bollywood script.
