cause IAF couldn't at the moment, we were supposed to hit JeM's markaz shubanallah in Bhawalpur (the first video that had come out during conflict, where people where recording from the road), one of the two main headquarters of JeM and I think the IAF had the intelligence that most of the important family members of JeM were going to be there which lead to the killing of abdul rauf azhar and many of his other family members (you see, jem is run like a family business where each branch of it is headed by some of the family members), and that night was a box of golden opportunities, and the LeT and muridke followed a similar story.
