Organization:notes | Founded in early 2000, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is an Islamist extremist group based in Pakistan. Its objectives are to absorb the Indian-administered areas of Jammu and Kashmir into Pakistan and ultimately establish an Islamist state in the country. JeM is committed to using indiscriminate terror tactics to achieve its objectives, including targeting foreigners and political representatives of foreign states. Between 2016 and 2018, JeM has carried out at least four attacks targeting police and military camps. These attacks killed at least 23 people, including soldiers, policemen, and civilians. The purpose of some of these attacks was to target family quarters, hospitals, and to take women and children hostage. In November 2020, four JeM affiliated militants attacked security forces at a checkpoint in the Nagrota area of Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir. Two officers were injured and a large cache of firearms, ammunition, and explosives were seized by security forces. | ca_listed_terrorists | ca-lte-39-jaish-e-mohammed-jem | ||||
