Jamaat-ud-Dawah, the frontal outfit of Lashkar-e-Toiba has stepped up its activities and unveiled plans to hold major conferences of Pakistani jehadi groups on Kashmir this week.<br/><br/>The conference organised in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir capital Muzaffarabad on Thursday is expected to be attended by Hizbul Mujahideen commander Syed Salahuddin, JuD leader Abdul Rehman Makki and former Inter-Services Intelligence agency chief Hamid Gul. <br/>The move comes by JuD after lying low for over a year due to the scrutiny of its leaders in the wake of the Mumbai attacks. JuD chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, the mastermind of the Mumbai attacks, will address another Kashmir Solidarity conference to be held in Islamabad on Friday.<br/><br/>JuD is the frontal outfit of Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is responsible for the Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people. After the 26/11 strikes, the UN banned the JuD and its chief Saeed was placed under house arrest but was subsequently released. In the past few weeks, the JuD has also resumed issuing statements to the media via email on behalf of jehadi and radical organisations.
