Top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Saifullah Khalid, who is accused of having orchestrated several terror attacks in India, was killed in Pakistan's Sindh province, media reports said.

He was attacked by some unknown assailants, reported India Today.

Khalid was reportedly behind the 2001 CRPF camp assault in Rampur, the 2005 Indian Science Congress (ISC) attack in Bangalore, and the 2006 attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Nagpur.

Operating under the alias “Vinode Kumar", Khalid was reportedly based in Nepal for several years and even married a local woman.

He was believed to have coordinated the activities of LeT from Nepal.

More recently, Khalid had shifted his base to Matli in the Badin district of Sindh province in Pakistan, reported India Today.
