#1 In the nineteen eighties Pakistan General Zia ul-Haq was directly responsible for arming the Hizb-e-Islami of the Afghanistan commander Yunis Khalis and its brother organization in Pakistan the Harakat al-Jihadi Islami (HUJI). Both were active in the management and recruitment of Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan. (A decade later the HUJI formed in Bangladesh under Shaukat Usman (AKA Sheikh Farid). By 2005 the Islamist HUJI operated in 24 countries and was especially active in Kashmir, Chechnya, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, northeast Bangladesh, and Arakan state, Myanmar. Since then, both the Hizb and the Harakat have been the playthings of the Pak military.
