ASIM UMAR: A NEW ACTOR IN WORLD JIHADIST STAGE – ANALYSIS

Asim Umar, appointed as the commander of Qaedat al-Jihad in the Indian Subcontinent (QJIS) in August this year, has emerged as a new actor in the global jihadist stage. Little is known about the leader of the new Al Qaeda affiliate, but it would be useful to draw a profile from his educational background, his association with different terrorist groups, his social network and his views expressed in many videos available for examination.
Asim Umar is known for his oratory skills and his grasp of the jihadi literature. He began his jihadi career by translating the jihadi literature from Pashto to Urdu and subsequently wrote at least four books promoting jihad. He has articulated his Salafi views on many videos which are posted as a propaganda and recruitment tool by al Qaeda. In recognition of his extreme views on Sharia and Caliphate, al Qaeda had appointed him as the head of Sharia Committee.
So far, there is no public knowledge about Umar’s combat skills and experience. There are, however, references of his travel to Afghanistan and becoming part of Harkat-ul Jihad al Islami (HuJI), a transnational terrorist group launched by three Pakistani mujahideen cadres in the early days of Afghan Jihad. Many al Qaeda and Taliban leaders sharpened their skills in the years spent with HuJI. HuJI remains a close ally of al Qaeda with presence in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
