| Pakistan's Punjab province is jihad factory |
| 2005-05-15 |
| Quoting a survey of ten large jehadi groups, journalist-author Sushant Sareen's The Jihad Factory reveals that over 10,000 people from Pakistan's Punjab have died for jihad, or Islamic holy war. Of this figure, Afghanistan accounted for some 4,000 deaths while the rest occurred in Jammu and Kashmir. |
