- Pakistan-based terrorist group launches women’s militant unit
- ‘Jamaatul-Muminat’ headed by Masood Azhar’s sister Sadia Azhar
Jaish-e-Mohammed, the Pakistan-based terrorist organization, has reportedly launched a new plan to expand its network by forming a women’s terrorist group. According to sources, the outfit has established a unit named ‘Jamaatul-Muminat’ under the leadership of Masood Azhar’s sister Sadia Azhar. The move marks another attempt by the banned organization to spread its extremist ideology through new channels.
As part of this strategy, Jaish-e-Mohammed has introduced an online radicalization program titled ‘Tawfal al Muminat.’ The organization has begun enrolling women for this online jihad training. Reports suggest that these digital classes will begin on November 8. Each daily session will reportedly last for 40 minutes and will include religious and jihad-focused lessons aimed at indoctrinating female participants.
Sources have revealed that both of Masood Azhar’s sisters — Sadia Azhar and Samaira Azhar — will personally teach in these sessions. Participants are allegedly being asked to contribute Rs. 500 (Pakistani rupees) each as a mandatory donation to join the course. This structured format indicates an organized effort by the group to attract and mobilize women under the guise of religious education.
Meanwhile, Jaish-e-Mohammed is said to be focusing its recruitment on the wives of existing militants and women from economically weaker sections. The group is reportedly targeting students and women from madrasas located in Bahawalpur, Karachi, Muzaffarabad, Kotli, and Haripur. By using online platforms, the organization appears to be intensifying its digital reach and attempting to radicalize more women across Pakistan and neighboring regions.
Security analysts view the creation of a women-specific unit and online jihad course as a concerning development in the region’s counter-terror landscape. Authorities are expected to monitor these digital channels closely to identify possible threats emerging from this online radicalization drive.
