About the Lashkar-e-Taiba

  • Lashkar-e-Taiba is one of the largest Islamist terrorist organizations in Pakistan. 
  • It was founded in 1987 by Hafiz Saeed, Abdullah Azzam and Zafar Iqbal with funding from Osama bin Laden
  • In 1985, Hafiz Mohammed Saeed and Zafar Iqbal formed the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (Organization for Preaching, or JuD) as a small missionary group dedicated to promoting an Ahl-e-Hadith version of Islam. 
  • In the next year, Zaki-ur Rehman Lakvi merged his group of anti-Soviet jihadists with the JuD to form the Markaz-ud Dawa-wal-Irshad (Center for Preaching and Guidance, or MDI). 
  • The MDI had 17 founders originally, and notable among them was Abdullah Azzam.
  • The LeT was formed in Afghanistan’s Kunar province in 1990 and gained prominence in the early 1990s as a military offshoot of MDI. 
  • MDI’s primary concerns were dawah and the LeT focused on jihad although the members did not distinguish between the two groups’ functions.
  • Lashkar-e-Taiba has been accused by India of attacking military and civilian targets in India, most notably the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the 2019 Pulwama attack on Armed Forces. Its stated objective is to merge the whole of Kashmir with Pakistan
  • The organization is designated as a terrorist organization by Pakistan, India,  the United States, other countries including the United Nations (under the UNSC Resolution 1267 Al-Qaida Sanctions List)
