America enlists three LeT members on ‘global terrorists’ list

The United States of America on Tuesday sealed the properties of three Pakistanis linked to the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which was blamed for the 2008 bomb blasts and attacks in Mumbai.

Abdul Rehman al-Dakhil, reportedly a senior member of the militant group, along with two others have been added to the “specially designated global terrorists” group reported Reuters.

“Treasury’s designations not only aim to expose and shut down Lashkar-e Tayyiba’s financial network but also to curtail its ability to raise funds to carry out violent terrorist attacks,” Sigal Mandelker, the Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said in a statement as reported by the news agency.

According to the report, the US Treasury had targeted Hameed ul Hassan and Abdul Jabbar, who had admitted that they were responsible for funding money to the terrorist group and also paying the salaries of its members.
