Jaish and Lashkar to change names, grow beards
2001-12-15
  • To avoid trouble over freezing of their assets by the US, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba are reported to have changed their names. Jaish-e-Mohammad has matamorphosed to 'Al Furqan' and Lashkar-e-Taiba has renamed itself to 'Pasban-i-Ahle Hadith'. Both the outfits have changed their names following their inclusion in the US State Department's terrorist watchlist and visa negative list. Both are part of the 'Muttahida Jihad Council', an umbrella body of Kashmiri militant outfits.
