Salahudeen invites global terror groups

The Kashmir problem has been given a deadly new twist by Syed Salahuddin, chairman of the United Jihad Council, a Pakistan-based amalgam of over a dozen terror groups. Attempting to link the separatist violence in the Indian state with pan-Islamic jihad in Syria and Iraq, Salahuddin has declared that help from al-Qaeda, Taliban or any other like-minded group or country would be welcome.

The United Jihad Council (UJC) includes outfits like Harkat-ul-Ansar, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen, Al-Jihad, Al-Barq, Al-Badr, Ikhwan-ul-Mussalmin, and Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen.

Syria was not mentioned, but the Salahuddin spin occupied all the space between the lines: that Kashmir was much like the civil-war-wracked country, and by extension a battleground ripe for jihadis of all kinds to converge in. "If al-Qaeda, Taliban or any other organisation or country extends a helping hand to the oppressed Kashmiris, we will welcome it," Salahuddin has said, accusing the Indian Army of running a "reign of terror" in Kashmir that was "proved by 6,000 unmarked graves, daily killings, molestation of womenfolk and incidents of arson". "We do not have any say at any international forum. In such a situation, we are left with no choice but to greet anyone and everyone that can help us overthrow our enemy."
