Mahmood Sultan Bashiruddin
Mahmood Sultan Bashiruddin is known for his controversial connections to terrorist organizations, as he has been identified on a US sanctions list as having links to al-Qaida. His name surfaced recently in discussions surrounding the Pakistani military's alleged protection of extremists, particularly in light of the military spokesperson's defense of Hafiz Abdul Rauf, a senior leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba. The inclusion of Bashiruddin's name on the same sanctions list as Abdul Rauf has raised significant concerns regarding the military's role in safeguarding individuals designated as terrorists by international authorities.
