Jama'at al-Tawhid wa'al-Jihad

Jama'at al-Tawhid wa'al-Jihad, often referred to as "Group of Monotheism and Jihad," is a militant Islamist organization founded in the late 1990s in Iraq. It aims to establish an Islamic state governed by strict Sharia law. The group gained notoriety for its violent tactics and was involved in significant conflict during the Iraq War. Over time, it became known for its association with al-Qaeda and later transformed into part of the larger organization known as the Islamic State (ISIS). Its activities have drawn international condemnation due to their extremist ideology and violent actions.
