#1 Bit of confusion in the article as to whether the dear departed was killed during the initial attempt or during the getaway. All that matters, though, is that he and his ilk are dead.

#2 What is that? A dried up rum baba?
A petrified tampon of Saba?
Brain-beating amoeba?
Just Ishaq's zebibah
Set into the side of the Kaaba!

#3 Bravo, Zenobia F!

Incidentally, the article reads like a classic RAB encounter, though no mention of the classic shutter gun, rounds of bullet, or wanted on twelve planets. I wonder how much, beyond the deaths of sundry miscreants and woundings of equally, though fewer, sundry policemen, actually took place in the real world.

#4 It's very late, but I just read an An Nahar article on the story, which provides this perspective:

LeJ, long seen as close to Al-Qaida and more recently accused of developing links with the Islamic State group, has a reputation as one of Pakistan's most ruthless militant groups.

The shootout appears to have wiped out much of the top leadership of LeJ, a driving force in a rising tide of violence targeting Shiite Muslims, who make up around 20 percent of Pakistan's 200 million majority Sunni Muslim population.
