Lahore, October 13

Most of the suspects behind the killing of a key aide of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror group chief Masood Azhar and his two associates have been arrested, the police chief of Pakistan’s Punjab province said on Friday, days after the three were shot dead at a mosque in Sialkot city.

JeM leader Shahid Latif, the mastermind of the 2016 attack on the Indian Air Force base in Pathankot, and his security guard Hashim Ali were shot dead by three gunmen while they were offering prayer in a mosque at Daska city of Punjab province, over 100 km from Lahore, on Wednesday.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
