Thr clout of key terrorist organisations in Pakistan has grown to such an extent that they openly collect funds and recruit cadre for fight the war against India. Amir Mir reports



M any of the Pakistan-based militant organisations, which have already been proscribed by the international community after being declared terrorist groups, keep operating freely all over the country without risking the ire of the law enforcement agencies that are apparently toeing the line of the Pakistani military establishment.

One such Pakistan-based jihadi organisation, which has been waging a guerrilla war in the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, is the Al-Badr Mujahideen.



The Al-Badr Mujahideen is one of the four terrorist groups active in the Kashmir Valley, which have already been banned by the United States.



The outfit is a splinter group of the Hizbul Mujahideen, which is led by Syed Salahuddin.



The other three banned jihadi groups include the Hizbul Mujahideen, the Harkatul Jehadul Islami and the Jamiat ul Mujahideen.
