UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Dies At 73

United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has died, state news agency WAM reported on Friday. He was also ruler of Abu Dhabi emirate.

According to the constitution, vice-president and premier Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, would serve as president until the federal council of the seven emirates meets within 30 days to pick a new president.

Khalifa, who was born in 1948, became the ruler of the richest emirate in the world, Abu Dhabi, in 2004. His half-brother Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan is anticipated to succeed him as ruler of Abu Dhabi.

Mohammed bin Zayed has been the de facto ruler of the US-allied UAE, especially since Khalifa suffered a stroke in 2014 and has been seldom seen in public since.

Mohali: The key conspirator in the rocket-propelled grenade or RPG attack at the intelligence headquarters in Punjab’s Mohali is associated with Pakistan based terrorists. This information was shared by state’s cop.

“The key conspirator is Lakhbir Singh Landa. He’s a resident of Tarn Taran. He is a gangster and shifted to Canada in 2017. He is a close associate of Harinder Singh Rinda, who is a terrorist based in Pakistan,” said Punjab Director General Of Police (DGP) VK Bhawra told presspersons.

The cop said that the attack was a way to send a message since most of the officers had left the office when the attack took place.

The RPG was fired at the third floor of the highly-guarded building in Mohali’s Sector 77. The incident took place around 7:45 pm on Monday. Following the incident an alert was sounded in Punjab.

Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), a terror outfit, and gangster Lakhbir Singh Landa planned the attack. Their plan was backed by Pakistan’s spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), said the top police officer.
