Counter Terror Measures Pakistan

The Trump administration is pressing Islamabad to take "credible steps" to dismantle the terror groups operating from its soil, a top US diplomat has said, describing Islamabad's recent counter-terrorism mesaures like the prosecution and conviction of Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed as "important but not irreversible".

A second team of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is in Pakistan to hold meetings with top officials to discuss the measures taken by the country to counter money laundering and terror financing after it was added in the 'grey list' for providing monetary assistance to terrorists.

China today said global community should shed bias and take an "objective" look at Pakistan's efforts on counter terrorism, days after it backed out from supporting its all weather ally at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) meeting which placed Islamabad on terrorist financing watch list.

Expressing concern over Islamabad's lack of commitment to America's objectives in Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan, a US Congressional committee has called for meeting 'benchmarks' in combating terrorism.

Over 600 people have been arrested and a large quantity of arms and ammunition was recovered during raids by police in Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province as part of measures to counter terrorism and improve security.

BSF has asked its counterpart in Pakistan to undertake counter measures and upgrade its security set up.
