The Pakistan based jihadi terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Muhammad is fast reorganising itself under its new commander Mufti Abdul Rauf, younger brother of Maulana Masood Azhar.
According to the Daily Times - a leading Pakistani daily - Mufti Abdul Rauf has taken upon himself the task of spearheading the reorganisation of the militant body after Maulana Azhar went underground following two suicide attacks on President General Pervez Musharraf.
"Mufti Abdul Rauf is spearheading the reorganisation of JeM. Rauf appeared on the scene after Maulana Azhar went underground following two suicide attacks on President General Pervez Musharraf," the paper quoted an official as saying.
As of now, JeM has established a transit camp in Islamabad for its activists coming from southern Punjab and travelling to Kohat where another camp has been established.
The camp in Islamabad is supposed to serve as the base for the organisation for its propaganda campaign and distribution of pamphlets in tribal areas.
Pakistan had banned the organisation in January 2002 but failed to impose the ban and the organization continued to operate from Pakistan's capital city - Islamabad.
"Mufti Rauf is receiving directions from Maulana Azhar," the officials added.
