PAK ARMY USING TERROR GROUP TO CARRY OUT ATTACKS IN IRAN

the Jaish al Adl is getting full support from other Sunni terror groups like the Jaish led by Masood Azhar and Lashkar e Tayyaba led by Hafiz Saeed. It has multiple training camps that are spread across the vast reaches of Balochistan where the cadre of all these three groups train together.

“Balochistan is perhaps the most militarised zone of Pakistan where there is army presence in virtually every nook and corner. Despite that the Jaish al Adl cadre roam freely in armoured vehicles, flaunting their arms and allegiance,” an official with an international agency said.

“The Jaish al Adl cadre have access to the best of weapons that are available in the region and regularly carry out operations against the Iranian army and Baloch groups with the support of the Pakistan army. There is no doubt that this group is acting as an informal arm of the Pakistan army,” he added.

According to a prominent activist of the BNM, which is carrying out a political as well as an armed struggle in the region, Jaish-a-adl is like a paramilitary force of the Pakistan army. “Many times, the Pakistan army and the Jaish al Adl carry out combined operations against us. There have been several instances when they are cornered in an encounter with us but escape safely back to their camps because of the active support of the Pakistan army,” the Baloch leader said.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have lost more than 50 men in the last three-four years in the hands of the Jaish al Adl. In January last year, Dr Allah Nazar Baloch, head of the Balochistan Liberation Front, had told this newspaper that it was Jaish al Adl cadre who had kidnapped Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav from Iran and later handed him over to the Pakistani army.
