HUJI 2 LST

As HuJI commander, Kashmiri provides support to al-Qaeda
operations, including logistical backing for al-Qaeda's
terrorist attacks.
Kashmiri has supported attacks against Pakistani
government personnel and facilities, including the 2009 attack
against the offices of the ISI and the Pakistani police in
Lahore that killed 23 people and left hundreds injured.
He directed the October 2008 assassination of former
commander of the Pakistani Special Services Group, General
Amir Faisal Alvi, in retaliation for his role in the fight
against militants in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas
of Pakistan.
He also led an al-Qaeda-linked cell in plotting the
assassination of a Pakistani Army general – a plan that was
eventually abandoned due to al-Qaeda's strategic
considerations.
Since 2001, Kashmiri has led HuJI training camps that
specialised in terrorist operations, military tactics, and
cross-border operations, including a militant training centre
in Miram Shah, North Waziristan in the Federally Administered
Tribal Areas of Pakistan.
In January 2009, a federal grand jury in the Northern
District of Illinois indicted Kashmiri for terrorism-related
offences in connection with a terrorist attack against the
Jyllands-Posten newspaper in Denmark.
HuJI's area of operation extends throughout South Asia,
with its terrorist operations focused primarily in India and
Pakistan.
HuJI's relationship with al-Qaeda flourished after the
Taliban's rise in Afghanistan.
"It has provided fighters for the Taliban in Afghanistan
and training of HuJI members in al-Qaeda training camps. HUJI
has carried out a number of terrorist attacks. In March 2006,
HUJI was responsible for the suicide bombing of the US
Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, which killed four people and
injured 48 others," the Treasury said. PTI
