UN on Pakistan’s back; Mumbai don features on terror list

It seems that the numerous killing and violence in Pakistan has finally woken up the United Nations (UN) resulting in it to release a terror list.

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has released a consolidated list of terrorist individuals and organisations, with 139 entries from Pakistan alone. The list includes prominent names such as Dawood Ibrahim and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed.

According to the Council, Dawood has held several Pakistani passports issued in Rawalpindi and Karachi, a news agency reported. The agency also claims that Dawood owns a palatial bungalow in Karachi.

According to a leading newspaper, the list includes all those individuals who have either lived in Pakistan, operated from there or have been associated with organisations that used Pakistani territory to carry out their operations.

Osama bin Laden’s heir apparent, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has also been named as a terrorist by the UNSC. The UN data claims that he is in hiding somewhere “in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border area”. The UN list has also identified several of his aides, who the UN believe are hiding with him.
