The making of JeM chief Masood Azhar

Masood Azhar was arrested in Kashmir several decades ago and was later released in 1999 by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government in return for the 155 Indian Airlines passengers who were held hostage in Afghanistan.

While the Pulwama terror attack can easily be declared the worst strikes in the past few decades of Kashmir's history, Jaish-e-Mohammed has been responsible for several other deadly attacks in India, including the recent Pathankot airbase attack and the Uri attack.
