Bombing near Pakistan home of anti-India militant kills 3
Neither Dawn nor One India had anything about this as of last night, only this Ay Pee article from Al Ahram’s feed. We’ll see if it shows up anywhere today.
[AlAhram] Last year, Pakistain sentenced Saeed to 15 years in jail in a terror-financing case, but he was never charged in connection with the Mumbai attacks

A powerful boom-mobile went off near the residence of a tossed in the clink

 anti-India murderous Moslem leader in the eastern city of Lahore on Wednesday, killing at least three people and wounding 15 others, police and rescue officials said.

The blast happened in the Johar Town neighborhood, provincial police chief Inam Ghani told news hounds. He said officers were still trying to determine whether it was a suicide kaboom or the bomb was remotely detonated.

Ghani said some coppers were also among the maimed persons.

``It was a boom-mobile, but we are still trying to confirm whether it was a suicide kaboom,`` he said.

He confirmed that the bombing happened near the residence of anti-India murderous Moslem leader Hafiz Seed, who has been designated a terrorist by the U.S. Justice Department and has a $10 million bounty on his head.

Saeed is the founder of the outlawed Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
 group, which was blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.

Lashkar-e-Taiba was active for years mainly in Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
, which is split between Pakistain and India and is claimed by both in its entirety. In the Indian-controlled sector of Kashmir, rebels have been fighting against Indian rule since 1989. Most Moslem Kashmiris support the rebel goal that the territory be united either under Pak rule or as an independent country.

India accuses Pakistain of backing rebels in the Indian part of Kashmir, a charge Pakistain denies. Pakistain says it only provides moral, political and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people, and that this support will continue until they get the right to self-determination under a UN resolution.

TV footage showed badly damaged homes, and many residents spoke of a kaboom. Doctors say some of the maimed were at death's door.

Ghani said police were guarding Saeed's house at the time of the attack. He said the attackers might have succeeded in targeting Saeed's home had police not set up a security post in the street where the bombing happened.

Saeed had been under house arrest. It was unclear whether the bombing caused any damage to his home, although the windows of dozens of homes were damaged.

Authorities blocked passageways to Saeed's home, citing security reasons.

Last year, Pakistain sentenced Saeed to 15 years in jail in a terror-financing case, but he was never charged in connection with the Mumbai attacks.

Pakistain and India have a history of bitter relations and they have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir since gaining independence in 1947.
