(PCP) Cousin of Noble Laureate Dr. Abdus Salam of Pakistani origin follower of Ahmadiyya Muslim community Malik Saleem Latif was killed by the ISIS-linked Lashkar-e-Jhanghvi terror group which said it had sent another "infidel" to hell. According to police, advocate Malik Saleem Latif and his son advocate Farhan were going to court in Nankana Sahib, some 80 kilometres from Lahore, when unidentified men opened fire on them, killing Saleem on the spot while injuring Farhan.
