His job is to smuggle jihadis and their munitions into India's portion of Kashmir. If he survives the bullets, land mines and mortars that greet him in the freezing no-man's-land between the two countries, the ISI pays him $334 per trip. If not, his family gets his last paycheck. "Every time I leave home," says Ilyas, "my wife and I say goodbye as if we're seeing each other for the last...
