Following the September 11 attacks in New York , the Musharraf government joined the United States in the War on Terror , assuming that the move would give it a free hand in supporting militancy in Kashmir . In October 2001 , JeM carried out a bombing near the Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly , killing 38 people and claiming responsibility for it . In December 2001 , JeM and LeT militants launched a '' fidayeen '' attack on the Indian Parliament waging a battle with the security personnel . Eight security personnel and a gardener were killed , but the attack was foiled . JeM claimed responsibility for the attack , but removed the announcement a day later under pressure from the ISI . The Indian Government accused the LeT and JeM of being involved in the attack . Subsequently , four JeM members were caught by Indian authorities and put on trial . All four were found guilty of playing various roles in the incident . One of the accused , Afzal Guru , was sentenced to death
