“In a purported audio message, a senior Jaish-e-Mohammad leader, identified as Maulana Ummar, the brother of Jaish chief Masood Azhar, says that Indian fighter jets hit ‘a school where students were being trained to understand jihad’ in the Balakot airstrike.”
That would be a school where students were being trained to kill. But Western authorities persist in assuming that such a school would be where students were being trained to get to the gym on time and pass on that second scoop of ice cream.
“Jaish Leader Claims Cross-LoC Airstrike Hit ‘School For Jihad’ In Balakot,” Outlook India, March 3, 2019:
In a purported audio message, a senior Jaish-e-Mohammad leader, identified as Maulana Ummar, the brother of Jaish chief Masood Azhar, says that Indian fighter jets hit “a school where students were being trained to understand jihad” in the Balakot airstrike.
India has claimed that the February 26 cross-LoC airstrike demolished the largest Jaish-e-Mohammad training camp in Balakot.

Outlook cannot vouch for the veracity of the audio or the claim that the voice is that of Maulana Ummar….
