Jaish ul-Adl, or Jaish al-Adl[11] (Arabic: جيش العدل, lit. 'Army of Justice'; Balochi: جئیش الئدل), is a Sunni militant and Baluchi separatist organization that operates mainly in southeastern Iran, where there is a substantial concentration of Sunni Baluchis and a porous border with Pakistan.[4][5][12]
The group has claimed responsibility for several attacks against military personnel in Iran.[9] The group has asserted that it is a separatist group fighting for independence of Sistan and Baluchistan Province and greater rights for Baluch people.[13][14][6] The group also maintain ties with Ansar Al-Furqan which is another Iranian Baloch Sunni armed group operating in Iran.[15] Salahuddin Farooqui is the current head of Jaish ul-Adl. His brother, Amir Naroui, was killed by Taliban in Afghanistan.[2]
The group was founded in 2012 by members of Jundallah, a Sunni militant group that had been weakened following Iran's capture and execution of its leader, Abdolmalek Rigi, in 2010. Its first major attack occurred in October 2013.[16][12] Jaish ul-Adl is a designated terrorist organization by Iran,[9] Japan,[10] New Zealand[17] and the United States.[4]
Jaish al-Adl has cooperated with Kurdish separatist groups in Iran and has also strongly denounced Iranian intervention in the Syrian civil war. Iranian state media has alleged that Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United States (and Israel) are key backers of the group.[8]
