JeM carried out terror-strikes under its 'holy war against India'

Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed's audacious terrorist strikes, part of its 'Ghazwa-e-Hind' (Holy War Against India), have turned it into one of the most deadly terror groups and brought India and Pakistan on the brink of war twice in two decades, officials said. JeM's most deadly terror strikes n the last 20 years include Pulwama and Pathankot airbase attacks. Here's a list of other JeM attacks.

Information
Situations when India, Pakistan were on the brink of war

India and Pakistan were almost on the brink of war in 2001 when the JeM attacked the Indian Parliament, and again now after the February 14 suicide attack on a CRPF bus in Pulwama, which killed 40 jawans, a security official said Sunday.

Motto
JeM resolved to continue terror-attacks in India under its 'Ghazwa-e-Hind'

The terrorist group, with close links with al-Qaeda, had resolved at a conference held in Okara district in Pakistan on November 27, 2017, that it would continue its 'Ghazwa-e-Hind' irrespective of the Indo-Pak ties, the official said citing an intelligence report. The JeM, which had close links with slain al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, was formed in 1999.

Formation
Terror mastermind Masood Azhar founded JeM in 1999

JeM was formed after the release of terror mastermind Masood Azhar from an Indian jail on December 31, 1999, after the Indian Airlines flight IC-814 was hijacked on December 24, 1999. Azhar was released along with rogue British secret service MI6 agent Omar Sheikh, who was responsible for the killing The Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl in January 2002, the official said.

Valley attacks
JeM carried out a series of terrorist attacks in J&K

Sheikh was also responsible for the funding of 9/11 terror attacks in the United States with $100,000, the official said. JeM carried out a series of terrorist attacks in Jammu & Kashmir. It killed 30 soldiers in the Valley through a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) in April 2000. Later, it killed three policemen at a bus stand at Batmaloo, Srinagar in June 2000.

Parliament attack
They attacked Parliament two months after J&K Assembly bomb blast

The terror group bombed the J&K Assembly on October 1, 2001, in which 31 people died. They attacked the Parliament on December 13, 2001, in which nine security personnel and officials were killed. The attack on the assembly took place just three weeks after the 9/11 attacks and the Parliament attack happened a week after bin Laden was cornered in Afghanistan's Tora Bora caves.

Tora Bora
JeM became conduit to bring fighters from Afghan to Pak

When bin Laden was cornered in Tora Bora and the Pakistani army was forced to hold one side of the cordon of these vast caves, the JeM became the conduit to bring fighters and their families into Pakistan. They brought fighters from Afghanistan into safe havens in Pakistan, run by JeM and another deadly terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, the official said.

Reason
To help Osama flee Afghanistan, JeM carried out Parliament attack

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the key conspirators of 9/11, housed fleeing al-Qaeda cadres in Karachi, said the official. It is widely believed that to help bin Laden flee Tora Bora, JeM carried out attack on Parliament in New Delhi, leading to a war-like situation between India and Pakistan after Indian armed forces were mobilized along the country's western border, another official said.

Laden's escape
Withdrawal of Pakistani army helped bin Laden to escape

This provided a pretext to the Pakistani army to withdraw much of its forces from its western border, which was in the cordon of the Tora Bora caves, thus helping the escape of bin Laden to Pakistan, said the official. "It took 10 more deadly years to get Osama bin Laden. This is the nature and capability of JeM," he further said.

Srinagar attack
JeM suicide squad detonated car bomb in Srinagar in 2005

JeM's activities just don't impact India, but feed on terrorism and have been a major threat to global peace and security. On November 2, 2005, a few hours before the swearing in of Ghulam Nabi Azad as Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir, a JeM suicide-squad detonated a powerful car bomb in the Nowgam area of Srinagar, killing 10 people and injuring 18 others.

Air strikes
After Pulwama attack, IAF bombed JeM's training camp in Pakistan

On January 2, 2016, a heavily armed group of JeM attacked the Pathankot airbase in which seven security personnel were killed. In the same year, it attacked the Uri brigade headquarters on September 18, killing 17 soldiers and injuring 30 others. The recent IAF air strikes on the biggest camp of JeM in Balakot, Pakistan, lead to another war-like situation between the two countries.
