New Delhi, July 14 (IANS) The naming of Hafiz Saeed in the Pahalgam attack chargesheet was a big move by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The in-absentia trial of Hafiz Saeed, who is the head of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, would be a test case, and the NIA will not only call out Pakistan’s bluff, but will also use this against Pakistan at international forums.The likes of Saeed and Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar have for years evaded scrutiny after carrying out terror attacks in India. A…

Ahmedabad, July 3 (IANS) What began as a piece of intelligence received by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) about suspected extremist activity in North Gujarat has, investigators say, led to the unearthing of an alleged Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) module that had been quietly taking shape over the past few months through a network of relatives, trusted associates and online contacts.The ATS has arrested eight people from Banaskantha, Patan, Navsari, Mehsana and Madhya Pradesh, alleging that the…
Kabul, May 9 (IANS) In order to understand how Pakistan’s relationship with terrorism actually functions, understanding the life of a single man – Masood Azhar, the founder of Jaish-e-Mohammed – would be sufficient.

Born in Bahawalpur in 1968, Masood Azhar grew up in a Deobandi religious environment, joined Harkat-ul-Mujahideen in his early 20s, and trave…
