“Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir will personally finance the reconstruction of a mosque damaged in the operation,” he said, as quoted by Pakistani media.
Muridke hosts the headquarters of the Lashkar-e-Toiba. It is located about 33 km from Lahore on the historic Grand Trunk Road. The LeT headquarter, Markaz-e-Toiba, operates under the facade of a charitable organisation, Jammat-ud_Dawa.
The Markaz complex is the nerve centre of the LeT. It operates as LeT’s ideological, logistical, and operational base. Hundreds of volunteers recruited from Pakistan and Kashmir are brought here for training and planning terrorist operations, reported India Today.
It is spread over 200 acres and is one of the largest terror facilities in not just Pakistan but across the world.
It was established in the late 1980s by Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, the founder of LeT. Reports claim that it was built with support from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and funding from external sources.
