Al Badr

Al-Badr (Arabic: اَلْبَدْرْ, romanized: al-badr, lit. 'the full moon') was an Islamist militant group formerly active in the insurgency in Indian-administered Kashmir. The group was formed by the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in June 1998. It is believed the group was encouraged by the ISI to operate independently from their previous umbrella group, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM). Prior to the group's separation from HM, they participated in the fighting in Afghanistan in 1990 as part of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's Hizb-l-Islami (HIG) alongside other anti-Soviet Afghan mujihadeen. India and the United States have declared it a terrorist organisation and banned it.
