From 911Encyclopedia:

Militant Group in Pakistan. They demand that Kashmir, divided between India and Pakistan, be reunited and either be given independence or be allowed to join Islamic Pakistan. In December 2002, Pakistani police arrested three men and seized about 250 sacks of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer used in explosives. They said, the men planned to ram an explosives-laden Volkswagen into a car carrying U.S. diplomats in Karachi. One of the suspects, Asif Zaheer, was linked to a May 2002 suicide bombing outside a hotel in Karachi that killed 14 people, including 11 French engineers. The police speculated on ties of the group with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, blamed for the June 2002 consulate bombing, the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen Al-Almi extremist group or connections with "Al-Quaeda".
