LeT terrorist threatens Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, PM Shehbaz Sharif: "Will be assassinated, ruined and destroyed" Watch viral video

Pakistani terrorist and Lashkar-e-Tabia's deputy chief Saifullah Kasuri has issued an open threat to country's army chief Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He publicly warned that frontline leadership and top military officials in Pakistan attempting to Israel on US order will be “assassinated, destroyed and ruined.” He issued direct public threats of elimination while addressing a rally.

Saifullah Kasuri's remarks come on the heels of US President Donald Trump's appeal to several Muslim-majority nations, including Pakistan, to establish diplomatic ties with Israel under the umbrella of the Abraham Accords. Trump said that any agreement to end the Iran war should see countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Qatar join the Abraham Accords.

Kasuri warns against changing Pakistan’s Israel policy

During a public rally held after Eid al-Adha prayers, Kasuri strongly criticised Pakistan’s top leadership and warned against any attempts to secretly change the country’s long-standing stance on Israel. He said any move towards recognising Israel would face strong opposition, claiming that no global power can pressure Islamic countries into accepting Israeli statehood.

Mentions Pakistan-Saudi defence ties

Kasuri pointed to growing defence cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, saying Pakistan’s military strength now has the capability to counter Israeli influence in the region. Throughout his speech, he used emotionally charged references to jihad, martyrdom and the Palestine conflict to rally supporters and increase pressure against the government’s policies.

"Whoever accepts Israel, will be destroyed..god willing, this Muslim nation is our faith, this is our belief...This act of hostility will continue forever, until you join us in worshipping one Allah. The deal with Saudi Arabia is a head start for Islam... for the Ummah. This is not the work of any ruler, politician, or leader. It is not the result of plans.... it is the result of thousands and millions of people who have offered their life in the path of Allah..," he said.
