India, Oct. 10 -- Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) has announced the launch of its women wing, Jamaat-ul-Mominaat, to be headed by the organisation's chief and United Nations-designated terrorist Maulana Masood Azhar's sister, Sadiya Azhar, according to the letter shared by JeM's propaganda outlet Al-Qalam Media.
Recruitment for the new unit reportedly began on Wednesday, October 8, at Markaz Usman-o-Ali in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. The move is widely seen as a signal that JeM may now train and deploy female suicide attackers, bringing it closer to operational methods used by groups such as ISIS, Hamas, LTTE and Boko Haram.
