Jaish collects funds outside Karachi mosques to send jihadists to India

New Delhi: Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Muhammad which was behind the Pathankot strike in India is collecting funds outside mosques in Karachi to carry out more such attacks.

According to a report in The Indian Express, Jaish fund collectors were caught on camera soliciting funds outside mosques to send Jihadists to India and Afghanistan.

“Help the mujahideen of the Jaish-e-Muhammad, the mujahideen of Islam, fight jihad in Kashmir against India, and in Afghanistan against the Americans,” one man was heard saying in the video that was shot outside a mosque in Jacob Lines area of Karachi.

“Generously donate to the brave young men of the Jaish-e-Muhammad who are fighting for the victory of the name of God and Islam,” says another man outside a seminary.

These men were seen collecting funds while Pakistani police officers standing guard outside the Jamia-Uloom-e-Islam, a seminary in Karachi.

Jamia-Uloom-e-Islam is know for having given birth to several notorious terrorist leaders, including the Jaish chief Maulana Masood Azhar. The head of al-Qaeda in India also studied in this Islamic School.
