Masood AzharBrother of Hakeem Muhammad Tahir Anwar. The cause of death is unknown. The funeral information said that prayers will be held at Jamia Usman-o-Ali in Bahawalpur at 11 pm.
Sources said Anwar was one of Masood’s five brothers. If confirmed, the development is expected to leave a vacancy in Jash’s leadership. Azhar’s two brothers hold key roles in the terror group: Ibrahim Azhar manages operations in Afghanistan, while Tahir Anwar leads Jaish’s armed cadres.
Anwar was later appointed head of the Justice and Equality Movement’s Markaz Usman-o-Ali. Last year, Markaz was used to temporarily house Operation Masood Sindor. The funeral prayer, which appears to be from Al-Azhar, reads: “…my dear brother…Hakeem Muhammad Tahir Anwar…has passed away…”
