Afghan jihadist camp

At the time of the September 11 attacks in 2001, Indian intelligence officials estimated that there were over 120 jihadist camps operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan, run by a variety of militant groups.

These camps would eventually be used for training jihadists who would fight in various places, including Kashmir, Chechnya, Bosnia, the Philippines, Palestine, and Xinjiang (China).
