US freezes assets of Pakistanis

The United States on Tuesday froze the assets of three Pakistanis it has linked to Lashkare- Taiba, the militant group blamed for the deadly 2008 attacks in India’s financial capital, Mumbai. The State Department added Abdul Rehman al-Dakhil to its list of “specially designated global terrorists,” saying he was a senior commander of the group.

The U.S. Treasury targeted Hameed ul Hassan and Abdul Jabbar, who it said were responsible for funneling money to Lashkare- Taiba and paying salaries to its members. (RTRS)
