Role in Terror Activities
Gul Rahman was identified as the mastermind behind the Jaffer Express attack, which targeted a passenger train in Pakistan. He was also linked to several other deadly incidents against Pakistani security forces, Chinese nationals, civilians, and key development projects.
Authorities stated that Rahman served as both a trainer and operational commander for the Majid Brigade, a faction operating under Fitna al-Hindustan. His role reportedly included planning and executing cross-border militant activities.
Targeting of CPEC and Security Forces
Security officials highlighted that Fitna al-Hindustan had carried out attacks aimed at undermining Pakistan’s security and development. The group has previously targeted China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects, security installations, and innocent civilians.
Broader Implications
Rahman’s death marks a significant blow to the network’s leadership. However, analysts caution that groups like Fitna al-Hindustan remain active in the region, and continued vigilance is necessary to prevent further cross-border threats.
