‘Pak.-based terror groups targeting Indian interests in Afghanistan’
2016-07-29
[The Hindu] Pakistain-based terror groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
(LeT), the Taliban, the Jaish-e-Mohammad
...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf banned the group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat...
(JeM) and the al-Qaeda target India’s interests and goals in Afghanistan, and pursue other objectives such as creating sanctuaries and safe havens for hard boyz in tribal areas between Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
and Islamabad, the Afghan envoy to the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
(UN) has said.

"In Afghanistan, regional terrorist groups have cooperated with the Taliban based on their common goals and mutual interests. These groups include Lashkar-e-Taiba, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain, Jaish-e-Mohammad, al-Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Islam
...a group of Islamic bandidos infesting Khyber Agency. It's headed by a former bus driver....
... These groups pose a strategic threat to the security and stability of Afghanistan," Permanent Afghan Representative Mahmoud Saikal said here on Friday during the open briefing of the Counter-Terrorism Committee on foreign terrorists.

These terror groups, he said, "pursue a few objectives" in Afghanistan, the main among them being "revival of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, targeting India’s interests and goals in Afghanistan" and forming "strategic alliances with international terrorist networks in the region and world." These groups also seek withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan, creating bases and safe havens and using them as a platform for "undermining and toppling" Central Asian "secular" governments, Mr. Saikal said.

They also pursue the objective of creating "sanctuaries and safe havens" in tribal areas between Afghanistan and Pakistain and along the Durand Line, the 2,430-km-long international border between Pakistain and Afghanistan.
