 Harakat ul-Mujahedin (HUM)
Formerly known as the Harakat ul-Ansar, the HUM is an Islamic militant group based in Pakistan that operates primarily in Kashmir.
The Harakat ul-Mujahedin was initially established in central Punjab in Pakistan in the early 1980s by Islamic religious elements.
After the Afghan Mujahideen captured power in Kabul in April 1992, the HUM converted itself into an international network of fighters for defending the rights of the Muslims all over the world.

The Harakat ul-Mujahidin was initially formed in the early 1980s to assist the mujahadin groups fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and to provide humanitarian relief to the refugees flooding into Pakistan as a result of the war.
In 1993 two Pakistani activist groups, the Harakat ul-Jihad al-Islam and Harakat ul-Mujahideen merged to form the Harakat ul-Ansar (HUA) (they later reverted back to the name Harakat ul-Mujahideen, the name by which they are now commonly known).
A leader of the Harakat ul-Mujahidin, Fazlur Rehman Khalil, signed Osama bin Laden's infamous 1998 fatwah calling for attacks on Americans and Jews, and several HUM members were killed in the 1998 U.S. missile attack on training camps in Khost, Afghanistan operated by Hum and Al Qaeda.

 Terrorism - In the Spotlight: Harakat ul-Mujaheddin (HuM)
The first organization carrying the name Harakat ul-Mujaheddin was formed in 1985 as part of the jihad against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Unlike the secular nationalist movement in Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), who strive for a total independence for Kashmiris, Harakat ul-Mujaheddin struggles for the secession of Jammu and Kashmir from India and the formation of a pan-Islamic entity under Pakistan.
It established its base (as the Harakat ul-Ansar) in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani Kashmir.

 Pakistan's Kashmir Strategy
Meanwhile, by the late-1980s, with the war in Afghanistan slowing down, the vast network of training camps for Afghan Mujahideen was transformed by the ISI into a center of Islamist terrorism throughout South Asia, as well as the melting pot of the world wide Islamist Jihad.
By the spring of 1994, when the weather permitted the resumption of large-scale terrorist operations, the ISI controlled mujahideen, most of them non-Kashmiri 'Afghans', were already firmly in control of the escalation.
The Mujahideen are getting organized now and are attacking the Indian militarystrategically." He admitted that Indian Kashmiri Muslim leaders were assassinated or attacked in order to prevent them from reaching an agreement with the Indian government.

However, the Muslim Mujahideen could not retain its identity, as Ahsan Dar was kidnapped by the HM in 1992 wherafter, both he and his outfit lost their influence.

 The Pakistani twist
Pakistan has agreed to make an appeal to the `mujahideen' to stop fighting in Kargil and vacate their positions after having achieved their objective of drawing international attention to the Kashmir dispute, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Tariq Altaf said last night.
``If the mujahideen or the freedom fighters, as we call them, are going to be persuaded to withdraw, then they obviously would do so if the world is paying some attention to their concerns and their right of self-determination,'' he said, speaking in Washington.
Al-Badr Mujahideen, another group of militants, has also issued a stern warning to Sharif saying the Pakistani nation would not allow the Prime Minister to return from the US if he agreed to any ``sell-out'' on Kashmiri martyrs.
