In a threat to India, chief of terror group Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has told Kashmir-based jihadist groups to “inflicting unrelenting blows” on the Indian state in a video released by the outfit’s media wing, as per the Foundation for Defence of Democracies’ (FDD) Long War Journal.al-Zawahiri said in his video message”(I am) of the view that the Mujahideen in Kashmir – at this stage at least – should single-mindedly focus on inflicting unrelenting blows on the Indian Army and government, so as to bleed the Indian economy and make India suffer sustained losses in manpower and equipment.”

hroughout his speech, Zawahiri asserted that the fight in Kashmir is not a ‘separate conflict’ but instead is part of the worldwide Muslim community’s ‘jihad against a vast array of forces’. He adds that the Kashmiri jihadists “need to establish stronger channels of communication with their Muslim brethren all over the Muslim world.”

Concerned about a “distorted image of the Mujahideens”, Zawahiri says in the video that “mosques, markets, and gathering places of Muslims” should not “become targets of explosions.”
