New Delhi: The predecessor of the Jaish e Mohammed, in which terrorist leader Azhar Masood was the top functionary, received regular funding from the Pakistani intelligence agencies and had complained that enough money was not being sent through, declassified documents of the American ( Central Intelligence Agency ) record.In a detailed note on the Harkat-ul-Ansar (HuA) – the terror outfit in which Masood was the general secretary when he was arrested by India in 1994 in Kashmir – the CIA says that the outfit received money but the financial support was being scaled back as Pakistan feared that it would be placed on the list of state sponsors of terrorism “Diplomatic reports indicate that ISI D provides at least $ 30,000 – and possibly as much as $ 69,000 – per month to the HuA,” the report said, noting that while the terror outfit was primarily targeting India, it had taken Western nationals hostage and had `probably killed’ them. The report was prepared in 1996 but was made publically available as part of a tranche of declassified documents last year.The report tallies with Indian intelligence assessments that the HUA that later evolved in Jaish after Masood was released from an Indian prison following the Kandahar hijacking in 1999, has been financed, supported and trained by the Pakistani establishment.The Indian intelligence believes that Masood raised a new outfit on his release as the HuA had been listed by the US as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation and had been renamed as the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM).According to intelligence inputs, Masood received financial assistance and support for setting JeM not only from the ISI but also the Taliban government in Afghanistan and international terrorist Osama Bin Laden . These linkages were apparently forged through the Binoria Madrassah based in Karachi.This assessment too is supported by the declassified CIA report that notes that pressure was being built to cut funding to the terror outfit and that would “make the group more likely to accept money from anti US international terrorist supporters such as Osama Bin Laden”.
