==Post Soviet–Afghan War==
Harkat-ul-Mujahideen was originally formed as a splinter group of Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami in 1985.<ref name='satp'/> In 1989, at the end of [[Soviet–Afghan War|Soviet–Afghan war]], the group entered [[Kashmir]]i politics by use of militants under the leadership of Sajjad Afghani and Muzaffar Ahmad Baba Alias Mukhtar. In 1993 the group [[wikt:merge|merged]] with Harkat-ul-Jehad-al-Islami to form [[Harkat-ul-Ansar]].<ref name='satp'/>

Immediately following the merger [[India]] arrested three senior members: [[Nasrullah Mansur Langaryal]], chief of the former Harkat-ul Mujahideen in November 1993; Maulana Masood Azhar, General Secretary in February 1994, and Sajjad Afghani (Sajjad Sajid) in the same month in [[Srinagar]]. Muzaffar Ahmad Baba was killed in an encounter at Pandan Nowhatta with the [[Border Security Force|BSF]] in January 1994.{{Citation needed|date=June 2014}}

As a response the group carried out several [[kidnapping]]s in an attempt to free their leaders, all of which failed. It was linked to the Kashmiri group [[al-Faran]] that kidnapped five Western tourists in Kashmir in July 1995; one, [[Hans Christian Ostrø]], was killed in August 1995 and the other four reportedly were killed in December of the same year.

In 1997, the [[United States]] designated Harkat-ul-Ansar as terrorist organization in response it renamed itself to Harkat-ul-Mujahideen.<ref name='satp'/>

In 1999, Sajjad was killed during a jailbreak which led to the hijacking, by the group, of [[Indian Airlines Flight 814]] in December, which led to the release of [[Maulana Masood Azhar]], [[Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh]] and [[Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar]] by the Indian Government. Azhar did not, however, return to the HUM, choosing instead to form the [[Jaish-e-Mohammed]] (JEM), a rival militant group expressing a more radical line than the HUM, in early 2000.

==Post 9/11 Attacks==
The group again came to the attention of the US after the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|9/11 attacks]], leading President [[George W. Bush]] to ban the group, this time under its Harkat-ul-Mujahideen moniker, on 25 September 2001.<ref name='satp'/>

Long-time leader of the group, [[Fazlur Rehman Khalil]], in mid-February 2000 stepped down as HUM ''emir'', turning the reins over to the popular Kashmiri commander and his second-in-command, Farooq Kashmiri. Khalil assumed the position of HUM Secretary General.

HUM is thought to have several thousand armed supporters located in Pakistani Kashmir, and India's southern Kashmir and Doda regions. It uses light and heavy machineguns, assault rifles, mortars, explosives, and rockets. HUM lost some of its membership due to defections to the Jaish-e-Mohammed.

The group is based in [[Muzaffarabad]], [[Rawalpindi]], and several other towns in Pakistan and Afghanistan, but members conduct insurgent and terrorist activities primarily in Kashmir.

The group's current leader, Fazlur Rehman Khalil, lives openly in the [[Islamabad]] suburb of [[Golra Sharif]]. He has denied having any contact with Osama bin Laden.<ref>[http://www.dawn.com/2011/06/16/terror-leader-lives-freely-near-pakistani-capital.html Terror leader lives freely near Pakistani capital], ''[[Dawn (newspaper)]]'', 16 June 2011</ref>

According to ''The New York Times'', Osama Bin Laden's seized cellphones attest Harkat-ul-Mujahideen's continued contact with Osama Bin Laden and its bases and fighters shared with the [[Taliban]] over the years following the [[war in Afghanistan (2001–present)|war in Afghanistan]].<ref name=cellphone>{{cite news|title=Seized Cellphone Offers Clues To Bin Laden’s Pakistani Links|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/24/world/asia/24pakistan.html?pagewanted=1&hp|access-date=24 June 2011|newspaper=The New York Times|date=24 June 2011|author=Carlotta Gall|author2=Pir Zubair Shah|author3=Eric Schmitt}}</ref>
