The Islamic Group of Uzbekistan is a terrorist organization with roots in Central Asia. It has been known by different names over the years and has undergone several changes in its leadership and structure. Some synonyms for the Islamic Group of Uzbekistan include 'Al-Jama'at al-Islamiya,' 'Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan,' 'Islamic Party of Turkestan,' and 'Adolat.' In its early years, the group mainly focused on overthrowing the government of Uzbekistan. However, in recent years, it has expanded its operations to Afghanistan and Pakistan, where it has formed alliances with other extremist groups. Despite efforts by regional governments to crack down on the organization, it remains a serious threat to regional stability and international security.
