Al-Umar-Mujahideen

Al-Umar-Mujahideen (العمر مجاہدین, अल उमर मुजाहिदीन) is an Indian & Pakistani Islamic militant group created by Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar in 1989.

History
Zargar formed the group in 1989 in the area of Jammu and Kashmir to separate the area from Indian control into mainly Muslim control through war and "armed struggle". The group was a split from the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front which then gained members from JKLF, Ikhwan-ul-Muslimeen, and Al-Madad. After inter-conflict with the group, Zargar stole weapons from Al-Umar-Mujahideen and established the Al-Umar Commando Force.

In 1992, the leader of the group, Zargar, was arrested on multiple murder counts in Srinagar before being released for the passengers in Kandahar, Afghanistan from the hijacked IC 814 flight.

In 2018, the group refused to abide by a proposed cease-fire agreement between them and India, saying that they will continue to be active in the area of Jammu and Kashmir until India withdrawals or until India is defeated.

In March 2023, the Indian government declared the groups' founder Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar an officially designated terrorist and the group Al-Umar-Mujahideen as a terrorist organization.
