A day after India struck terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir under its Operation Sindoor, satellite photos shot by an American company surfaced, showing extensive damage to two infrastructures.

The photos captured by Colorado-based Maxar Technologies showed the destruction of two terror infrastructures– one at Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and the other at Lashkar-e-Taiba’s base Muridke in Punjab province of Punjab.

In retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 tourists dead, Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The military strikes were carried out under ‘Operation Sindoor’ two weeks after the massacre in south Kashmir’s Pahalgam town.

In Bahawalpur, Indian armed forces targeted Markaz Subhan Allah, which has been operational since 2015, is the main centre of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) for training and indoctrination and serves as its operational headquarters.

The terror camp is linked to JeM’s planning of terrorist activities, including the Pulwama attack on February 14, 2019. The Markaz comprises the residences of JeM Chief Maulana Masood Azhar, JeM’s de-facto Chief Mufti Abdul Rauf Asghar, Maulana Ammar, and other family members of Masood Azhar. JeM regularly conducts arms, physical, and religious training for its members at Markaz Subhan Allah.

The other target was Markaz Taiba in Muridke, established in the year 2000 and is the most important training centre of LeT in Nangal Sahdan. The site serves as the mushrooming ground for radicalisation of students to motivate them to join armed jihad. This Markaz enrols around 1000 students in different courses annually thereby highlighting the role of this Markaz in churning out terror entities for LeT annually.

Why India Targeted Muridke Markaz, Lashkar Bastion Where 26/11 Terrorist Ajmal Kasab Was Trained

Osama Bin Laden had financed Rs 10 million for the construction of a Mosque and Guest House within the Markaz Taiba complex. At the behest of Pakistan’s ISI, all the preparators of the 26/11 Mumbai attack including Ajmal Kasab were imparted ‘Daura-e-Ribbaf (intelligence training) at this facility. David Coleman Headley & Tahawwur Hussain Rana, the prime conspirators of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, had visited Muridke along with Abdul Rehman Sayed alias Pasha, Haroon and Khurram (co­ conspirators) on instructions of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi.
