Al-Umar-Mujahideen (Urdu: العمر مجاہدین, Hindi: अल उमर मुजाहिदीन) is a Pakistani Islamic terrorist organisation created by Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar in 1989.[2]
History
[edit]Zargar formed the group in 1989 in the area of Jammu and Kashmir to separate the area from Indian control into mainly Muslim control through war and "armed struggle".[3] The group was a split from the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front which then gained members from JKLF, Ikhwan-ul-Muslimeen, and Al-Madad.[4] After inter-conflict with the group, Zargar stole weapons from Al-Umar-Mujahideen and established the Al-Umar Commando Force.[5][4]
In 1992, the leader of the group, Zargar, was arrested on multiple murder counts in Srinagar before being released for the passengers in Kandahar, Afghanistan from the hijacked IC 814 flight.[6]
In 2018, the group refused to abide by a proposed cease-fire agreement between them and India, saying that they will continue to be active in the area of Jammu and Kashmir until India withdrawals or until India is defeated.[7]
In March 2023, the Indian government declared the groups' founder Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar an officially designated terrorist and the group Al-Umar-Mujahideen as a terrorist organization.[8]
