Arshad Bi

Arshad Bi (died 2014) was a Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist and suicide bomber. The son of the nurse Amina Bi, he lost his father while he was young, and he was lured into LeT by the promise of God's grace shining upon his face once he achieved martyrdom. Arshad carried out a suicide bombing in Kashmir while still a young boy, and his body was brought home to his mother in plastic bags, and, in order to ensure that his coffin did not feel too light, stones were placed in the coffin alongside pieces of Arshad's body. Arshad's death led to Amina's alienation from Lashkar, and motivated her to help India's RAW intelligence agency assassinate Lashkar leader Sahabuddin Umavi in 2015, even at the cost of her own life.
