US blacklists Pakistan based charity with Lashkar-e-Toiba ties

As part of its enduring crackdown against Pakistan-based terror groups, US has slapped sanctions against more key Lashkar-e-Toiba leaders and its affiliates.

The senior LeT members who have been elected as global terrorists are Mian Abdullah, head of its Traders' Department, and Mohmmad Naushad Alam Khan, a key financial facilitator for the organisation.

Sanctions have also been slapped against Pakistan-based Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), which is closely connected to banned fanatic group LeT and also to its front Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD).

LeT has claimed responsibility for numerous terrorist acts against Pakistani, Indian and US interests and is responsible for the November 2008 Mumbai attacks which killed 166 people. The group has been closely associated with Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaida network.

LeT senior leader and current head of FIF, Hafiz Abdur Rauf, has also been designated as a global terrorist.
