Preferred term
Lashkar-e-Taiba
Definition
- Lashkar-e-Taiba (Army of the Pure) is a notoriously violent militant Muslim group that initially operated in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, on the Pakistan-India border, but by 2010 had expanded its reach further into India. Jammu and Kashmir is claimed by both India, a largely Hindu country, and Pakistan, a largely Muslim country, and the dispute has given rise to many armed groups within Jammu and Kashmir.
