According to a notification issued by the Pakistani Foreign Ministry, Dawood Ibrahim is residing in White House, Karachi. His address mentioned in the list of banned terrorists is house number 37, street number 30, housing authority, Karachi.
The list also includes 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack mastermind and Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed, Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar and Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi. The Pakistani government has reportedly seized their properties and bank accounts to check terror financing in a bid to avoid blacklisting by Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
