The Nadeem Commando was a small militant Muhajir organization in Pakistan. The origin of the group is unknown, but it is thought to have been active from at least the early 1990s until 1996, when the Pakistani government declared that the majority of the group had been arrested or killed during both 'Operation Clean Up' (1992-1994) and the later anti-crime operation in Karachi (1994-1996) under the second Benazir Bhutto government.[1] Farooq Dada was presumed its leader until 1995, when he was shot to death by police near Jinnah International Airport. His assumed replacement was also shot and killed by police in 1995. It is believed to have been involved and affiliated with the MQM-Altaf/MQM-London, formally known as the Mohajir Qaumi Movement (MQM).[2] The Institute for Conflict Management considered Nadeem Commando a terrorist group.[1]
