Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), which translates as "The Army of Mohammed," is a Pakistan-based jihadi group that operates in Kashmir with the aim of taking the contested territory from India and making it part of Pakistan.
The group has its roots in another Islamic militant group active in Kashmir, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, which is considered to have links to al-Qaida.
Its founder and leader is Maulana Masood Azhar (top photo), a former leader of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen.
JeM, which carried out its first suicide bombing in Kashmir in 2000, has been designated as a terrorist organization by Pakistan, Russia, Australia, Canada, India, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States and the United Nations. It has changed its name several times in response to bans by Pakistan.

Thanks! While deployed to DAC-PAK, the JTF for disaster assistance to Pakistan in 2005, we were briefed on JeM but not Harkat-ul-Mujahideen.
