• Headquarters:
  Muzaffarabad (Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir)
• Lashkar-e-Toiba
• Headquarters:
  Muridke (Pakistan)
• Hizbul Mujahideen
• Peak time of annual infiltration of
  terrorists into India:
• Summer months,
  when the snows have melted, under cover of Pakistani Army firing
  (Washington Post, Oct. 15, 1998).
• Number of people in Jammu and Kashmir killed in violence
  waged by Pakistan-supported terrorists over the last decade: over 20,000.
• Ethnic Cleansing in Kashmir: Nearly 300,000 Kashmiri Pandits (original Hindu inhabitants of Kashmir valley) driven out of their ancestral
  homeland by Pakistan-supported terrorists.
• Pakistan
  ‘s response to
  charges of terrorism support: “It only provides diplomatic and moral
  support to the terrorists”. To see through this outright lie, read
  about the “credible reports of official Pakistani support to Kashmiri
  terrorist groups…” in the US State Department 1997 report on global
  terrorism.
• The US Tomahawk missiles killed
  Pakistani terrorists belonging to Harkat-ul-Ansar in the Khost camps in Afghanistan
  this year. These terrorists were training to fight in Kashmir.
• The Harkat-ul-Ansar and the
  Lashkar-e-Toiba threatened US citizens recently in open news conferences
  in major cities in Pakistan (Kashmir
  Chronicle, Vol. 1, No. 6). The Pakistani government makes no attempt
  to shut down any of these groups.
• Most recent recruits to Pakistani
  terrorist camps: Kashmiri Muslim children as young as 12 years old, coerced
  into a dead-end career by Pakistani terrorist groups(CNN Online, Oct. 8,
  1998).
• Why is the Pakistani economy in
  shambles? 70% of its budget goes to the military plus its debt payments,
  much of the military spending being on sustaining the Kashmiri terror (NY
  Times, Aug. 30, 1998, The Tribune, Oct. 10, 1998).
