Ali Sher Hyderi[lower-alpha 1] (c. 1963 – 17 August 2009) was a Pakistani Islamic scholar, who served as the chief of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jama'at (ASWJ).[1][2][3][4][5]
Hyderi became the chief of Sipah-e Sahaba upon the death of the previous leader, Azam Tariq, in a 2003 ambush.[6][7]
He had previously also served as the Sarparast-e-Aala (patron-in-chief) of the Sipah Sahaba and Millat-i-Islamia.[5][8][9]
Assassination
On 17 August 2009, at approximately 2:00 a.m., Hyderi was assassinated in an ambush on his convoy. The attack was carried out by unknown assailants as he was returning to Khairpur from a religious event in a nearby village.[2][1]
His funeral was held at Jamia Hydria and attended by thousands. The funeral prayer was led by Ahmed Ludhianvi, who succeeded him as the organization's chief.[4]
