Masood Azhar
Masood Azhar is the founder and leader of the militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), which has been responsible for several high-profile terrorist attacks in India, including the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack. He was released from Indian custody in 1999 in exchange for hostages during an airplane hijacking, leading to his establishment of JeM in Pakistan. Azhar is designated as a terrorist by multiple countries and organizations, including the United Nations, for his role in promoting and executing acts of terrorism against India. His group's headquarters in Bahawalpur was targeted during India's Operation Sindoor, a response to recent terror attacks attributed to Pakistan-based groups.
