"Amir Hamza, co-founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba, called for 'jihad against the kuffaar,' explicitly naming India and Israel, just weeks before the Pahalgam attack."
"Despite the destruction of LeT's headquarters due to an Indian airstrike, Pakistan-based terrorist organizations have adapted and expanded their geographical reach."
"The formal bans on organizations such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad have not resulted in meaningful dismantlement of these networks."
"Pakistan's ongoing support for Salafi-Jihadi groups highlights a troubling continuity in its approach to terrorism, even as it seeks to position itself as a peacemaker."
In March 2025, Amir Hamza of Lashkar-e-Taiba called for jihad against India and Israel. Following the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians, the headquarters of LeT remains destroyed. Despite this, Pakistan-based terrorist organizations have adapted and expanded their operations under the civil-military leadership. The four-day conflict between India and Pakistan has not led to meaningful changes in dismantling these networks. Pakistan's support for Salafi-Jihadi groups continues, revealing a persistent issue in its history with terrorism, despite formal bans on organizations like LeT and JeM.
