Ahrar-ul-Hind

Ahrar ul Hind (Urdu: احرار الہند; lit. freeones of India) was a militant Islamist group in Pakistan that split from the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in February 2014. During peace talks between the Pakistani government and TTP, Ahrar-ul-Hind issued a statement to the media rejecting the talks,[1] and announcing that they would not accept any peace agreement. Following its initial announcement, the group claimed responsibility for a number of attacks in Pakistan,[2] including the Islamabad court attack, before merging into the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar group in August 2014.[3]
