Common card · No. 232389

Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (Urdu: حرکت المجاہدین, lit. 'Mujahideen movement'; abbreviated HUM) is a Pakistan-based Islamist jihadist group operating primarily in Kashmir. The group had links to Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar. The group has been designated as a terrorist organisation by Bahrain, the United Nations, the United Kingdom and the United States. In response the organisation changed its name to Harkat-ul-Mujahideen. The group splintered from Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), a Pakistani group formed in 1980 to fight the Soviet military in Afghanistan. The Government of India has declared and banned HuM as a jihad organisation.
