Afghanistan's newly established Jaish al-Mahdi is a combination of Arab and Afghan fighters. In a statement, the movement noted that at its outset Jaish al-Mahdi enjoyed the support of 250 Arab and Afghan fighters, although it is still ambiguous as to which jihadi party these fighters were involved in during the Afghan wars... The army's self-proclaimed leader, Abu Haris, is an Arab fighter who was on the side of the resistance against the Soviets in Paktia province. He is allegedly Syrian, and for many years has been active in different parts of Afghanistan... Some al-Qaeda personnel speaking to Pajhwak Afghan News acknowledged the formation of Jaish al-Mahdi and denied any differences between the group and al-Qaeda, claiming that they cooperated with each other fully. The desolate and largely lawless region of Helmand province, the former main base of al-Qaeda in the Afghan-Pakistani border's Paktia province, and the Pakistani territory of Waziristan are the areas that the Jaish al-Mahdi leader claimed as the fields of jihad against NATO-led forces and the Afghan government.
