Rise of Jaish-e-Mohammed

Almost a week after Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup said that India will wait till Pakistan takes action against the perpetrators of the Pathankot attack, several Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists were arrested and their offices sealed as part of a crackdown following the terror attack on Pathankot Air Force Station earlier this month. Days after the United Jihad Council claimed responsibility for the attack, details emerged about the identity of the gunmen’s handlers: JeM founder Maulana Masood Azhar, his brother Abdul Rauf Asghar, Ashfaq Ahmed and Kashim Jaan.
