Who are Jaish-e-Mohammad?

Started by cleric Masood Azhar in 2000, the group has been blamed for attacks on India, including one in 2001 on the Parliament in Delhi. It is also said to have introduced suicide bombings in Kashmir, with the first such attack taking place in 2000. It has been designated a "terrorist" organisation by India, the UK, US and UN. However, Masood Azhar remains at large and is reportedly based in the Bahawalpur area in Pakistan's Punjab province.
