ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Such support is also evident elsewhere. Islamic militants are again operating openly in Pakistan. Last Friday afternoon at the Red Mosque in the center of Islamabad, the nation's capital, Fazlur Rehman Khalil, the former head of Harkat-ul-Mujahedeen, delivered a sermon to hundreds of worshippers as police officers lounged outside.

The State Department has declared the group a terrorist organization. In 1998, Mr. Khalil supported Mr. bin Laden's call for attacks on the United States and Western interests. After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, banned the group. Mr. Khalil dissolved his former group and created a new one, Jamiat-ul-Ansar.

On Friday, he exhorted listeners to participate in "jihad," or holy war, but did not to say where.
