Pak Army Signals Closer Ties with Terrorist Group Jaish-e-Mohammad
The Pakistan Army appears to be supporting a terrorist group called Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).
A leader of JeM said the army is now backing them, even saluting JeM members who died.
This is a big change, as JeM has attacked both India and Pakistan in the past.
JeM's founder is Masood Azhar, who was released after a plane hijacking.
This could mean more trouble, especially in Jammu and Kashmir, as JeM has carried out major attacks.
A JeM commander stated that the Pakistani Army is drawing closer to the group.
Pakistani soldiers attended funerals of JeM members killed in Indian strikes.
The Jaish-e-Mohammad was founded in 2000 by Masood Azhar.
JeM has been involved in attacks against India, including the 2019 Pulwama attack.
The recent development could have serious implications in Jammu and Kashmir.
