Abu Saihura, also known as Rashkar e Tayba terrorist Raza Nizamani, who orchestrated the attack on the RSS headquarters in 2006, was shot and killed by an unidentified gunman in Sindh, Pakistan, according to officials.

Authorities reported that Nizamani, who was under protection from the Pakistani government, left his home in Matri, Sindh, earlier today and was shot near a busy intersection.

Besides his involvement in the attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Nagpur, Nizamani was also linked to significant terrorist incidents like the 2005 attack on the Institute of Science in Bengaluru and the CRPF camp attack in Rampur in 2001.
