Pakistan denies Islamabad’s acknowledgment of Dawood Ibrahim’s presence in Pakistan

Dawood was among 88 others who figured in a list, published as a Statutory Regulatory Order (SRO) by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to escape blacklisting by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). In a turn of events that was expected by New Delhi, Pakistan on Sunday stepped back on its acknowledgment of the presence of fugitive terrorist Dawood Ibrahim in their soil.

Besides Dawood, Lashkar-e-Toiba chief Hafiz Saeed, Lashkar’s operations head, and 26/11 accused Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi, Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Mashood Azhar also figure on the list.
