Pakistan has formally written a letter to Kabul, asking to locate, report and arrest Maulana Masood Azhar — the chief of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Geo TV reported on September 13 quoting a top official privy to the development. “We have written a one-page letter to the Afghan Foreign Ministry, asking it to locate, report and arrest Masood Azhar as we believe that he is hiding somewhere in Afghanistan,” official said on the condition of anonymity. Foreign Office spokesperson when approached, avoided commenting on this development. The one-page letter also pointed out two different provinces of Afghanistan - namely Nangarhar and Kunar — where Azhar is mostly likely hiding. It is not yet confirmed whether Azhar moved to Afghanistan before the Taliban took control of Kabul or after that. Islamabad banned JeM on terrorism charges on January 14, 2002, during General (retd) Pervez Musharraf's rule.
