From plotting a hijack to creating the JeM, why Pakistan guards Masood Azhar so much
|
[OneIndia] 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...
chief, Maulana Masood Azhar
...One of the major players in Pak terrorism. In early 1994, India incarcerated him for his activities. In 1995, foreign tourists were kidnapped in Jammu and Kashmir. The kidnappers included his release among their demands. One of the hostages managed to escape but the rest were eventually killed. In 1999, he was freed by the Indian government in exchange for passengers on hijacked Indian Airlines Flight 814 that had been diverted to Kandahar. The hijackers were led by Masood Azhar's brother, Ibrahim Athar. Once he was handed over to the hijackers, they fled to Pak territory despite the fact that Islamabad had earlier stated that any of the hijackers would be jugged at the border. The Pak government had also previously indicated that Azhar would be allowed to return home since he did not face any charges there. Shortly after his release, he made a public address to an estimated 10,000 people in Karachi, firing up the rubes against America and India...
is undeniably one of the most protected persons in Pakistain. The history of the terrorist who is an accused in the 2001 Parliament attack and 2019 Pulwama bombing case is an interesting one considering the lengths Pakistain goes to protect him.
Continued from Page 2
A Times Now Navbharat report said that Pakistain's deep state continues to provide a safe haven for several holy warriors including Azhar. The report said that Azhar has two houses in Pakistain's Bahawalpur with one located next to the Osman-O-Ali-Masjid and the National Orthopaedic and General Hospital.
The jawans of the Pakistain army have been stationed outside the house to secure their most important proxy. This means that he is protected fully from an air strike like that happened in the case of the late Osama bin Laden
...... who is now beyond all cares and woe......
. He is surrounded by a Mosque, Hospital and several residential homes, which makes it virtually impossible to strike.

Azhar was found to be one of the main plotters of an liquidation bid that involved former president of Pakistain, Pervez Perv Musharraf
 ...former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date. They'll hang him if they can catch him...
. He fell out of favour with the establishment for a short while but was back in their good books in a few years time.
When it comes to Azhar, Pakistain has always gone that extra mile to safeguard him.
In the year 1994, the Indian agencies detained a 26-year-old in Srinagar who claimed to be a journalist. He had with him a Portuguese passport and at that time, none knew that one day he would turn out to be one of the world's biggest terrorists.
That was Maulana Masood Azhar, the chief of the Jaish-e-Mohammad has gone on to wreck havoc in India. He was sent to India to oversee the operations of the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen. He had no outfit of his own back then.
The ISI was however aware of his skills and it was his powerful oratory and convincing skills that made him such a favourite of the Pakistain spy agency. An officer, who has tracked Azhar tells OneIndia that he was a powerful speaker and could draw large crowds. He was a good organiser and this is what made him a favourite of the ISI.
His brother Mohammad Rauf, who currently runs the outfit plotted the hijack with the help of the ISI.
After much drama, he was finally released. After he returned to Pakistain, he launched the Jaish-e-Mohammad. The outfit made an announcement when it attacked the Indian Parliament in 2001.
His relationship with the ISI has been blow hot blow cold. The JeM chief had a falling out when his outfit attempted to assassinate former Pakistain president, Pervez Musharraf. He fell completely out of favour with the establishment back then. However the establishment never seriously pursued the investigation and all those part of the incident went away scot free.
