ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter plane shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing’s advanced fighter jet.

An Indian Air Force spokesperson said he had no comment when asked about the Reuters report.

    The article you cited states:

    The compound was founded in 1988 by Hafiz Saeed, the founder of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), a charity organisation widely considered to be a front for the LeT. The compound’s seminary, Jamia Dawa Islami, was also named after the group.

    This wasn’t a random mosque. It clearly had links to a terrorist organisation. The interviewees claim the place wasn’t tied to terrorism, but I am not convinced.

    Note how they never explicitly mention what exactly they teach.

    The broad spread of extremism in Pakistan’s mosques and their use by terrorist/Islamist groups is widely documented (just search it).

    Note I can’t stand Mohdi and I think he is an embarrassment for India, but that doesn’t mean I am going to ignore the how fucking crazy Pakistani Islamists are (and that all Pakistani governments have supported and nurtured violent Islamist movements as long as they didn’t directly challenge the government).

      This wasn’t a random mosque. It clearly had links to a terrorist organisation. The interviewees claim the place wasn’t tied to terrorism, but I am not convinced.

      Read the article again. It was taken over by the government in 2019. The guy who founded JuD was, again as stated in the article, arrested in 2019 and imprisoned for financing terrorism.

      The interviewees claim the place wasn’t tied to terrorism, but I am not convinced.

      So you simply want to believe that the mosque was used by terrorists.
