Closed on

At least 40 Indian paramilitary police have been killed in a bomb attack believed to have been carried out by Pakistan-based Islamist group Jaish-e-Mohammad on their convoy. India has called for international sanctions against Jaish-e-Mohammad's leader, Masood Azhar.

Pakistan rejected suggestions that it was responsible for it.

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.
