Shariat Jamaat began in 2002 in Dagestan. The Shariat Jamaat was known for its violent tactics, especially the use of suicide bombers in and around Dagestan. Like the Ingush and Yarmuk Jamaats, the Shariat Jamaart sought independence from the Russian Federation. In order to establish independence the Shariat Jamaat worked with the other terrorist groups emanating from the North Caucasus. With the creation of the Caucasus Emirate in 2007 the Shariat Jamaat no longer functioned by itself, rather they became a part of the Caucasus Emirate.
