Terrorist freed after IA hijack back in action

New Delhi: Maulana Masood Azhar, who was released by the Indian government 14 years ago in exchange of passengers of Indian Airlines flight IC-814 that was hijacked by terrorists, seems to be back in action after several years. After the 2001 Parliament attack, not much was heard about Azhar but latest intelligence inputs have said he is reviving Jaish-e-Mohammad's (JeM) activities against India.
According to top sources, JeM organized a conference last week in Muzzafarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in memory of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, who was hanged on February 9 last year.
The conference was organized in the university ground in Muzzafarabad and a large number of members from terror outfits attended it, sources said. The input said strategy for action against India was discussed in this conference apart from highlighting the Kashmir issue internationally. Azhar had invited several ulemas from various places in Pakistan to the conference.
