New JeM base,with anti-India call

The terror group was formed by Maulana Masood Azhar,released by India in the 1999 Kandahar plane hijack episode,with the help of ISI,and the two organisations continue to be close,the report said.

Jaishs new site,about 5 km out of Bahawalpur at Chowk Azam,on the main road to Karachi,could contain underground bunkers or tunnels,the report said. It is surrounded by a high brick and mud wall. It has a swimming pool,stabling for over a dozen horses and an ornamental fountain. On the inside walls,there are painted inscriptions,including a warning to Hindus and Jews,with a picture of Delhis historic Red Fort.

While world attention has been focused on the Taliban in northwest Pakistan,the bases of JeM and a string of other terror groups in Punjab have gone largely unnoticed,the report said.
