JeM Chief Masood Azhar

Nine terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir were targeted in Operation Sindoor, which included Bahawalpur, where Masood Azhar's family members were reportedly killed

Bahawalpur, Pakistan's 12th largest city, reportedly serves as the nerve centre of Jaish-e-Mohammed, a place which also has a Masood Azhar connection

Terrorist groups targeting India continued to operate from Pakistan and Islamabad did not take action against other known terrorists, according to a latest report on terrorism by the US State Dept.

Wrapping up the probe into a fatal terror attack that left 40 CRPF personnel dead in South Kashmir last year, the NIA filed a chargesheet in a special court against 19 people including Masood Azhar

NIA in its chargesheet in the 2019 Pulwama terror attack case has named JeM chief Masood Azhar, his brothers Abdul Rauf Asghar and Ammar Alvi, slain terrorist Mohammad Umar Farooq and others

Pearl, the 38-year-old South Asia bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal, was abducted and beheaded while he was in Pakistan investigating Al-Qaeda-ISI link in 2002

The decisions have been taken nearly a month after Parliament approved a crucial amendment to The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act, 1967

'Azhar's listing shows that the international community can and will hold terrorists accountable for their actions'

A UN Security Council committee blacklisted the head of the Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Masood Azhar, on Wednesday

Azhar's terror outfit claimed responsibility for many terror attacks in India, including the suicide attack against Indian security forces in Pulwama on Feb 14, 2019

"We urge the US to act cautiously and avoid forcefully moving forward this resolution draft," Geng said.

If US, Britain and France move resolution for Azhar's listing in the UN's most powerful wing, China may find it very difficult to defend a terrorist in public and could stand isolated

France would discuss putting Masood Azhar on a European Union list of people suspected of being involved in terrorism.

he proposal to designate Azhar under the 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council was moved by France, the UK and the US on February 27

The party also asked why he had not made any comment when China had blocked the move on the same grounds in 2009 when the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government was in power

China on Wednesday put a technical hold on a proposal in the UN Security Council to ban him following the Pulwama terror attack

The fate of the proposal to designate Pakistan-based Azhar as a global terrorist by the UN Security Council will be known in less than 24 hours

Khan said a dossier shared by India with Pakistan last week also contained names of Rauf and Hammad

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi also accepted on television that Masood Azhar was in Pakistan and that he was not well

The Security Council Sanctions Committee will have 10 working days to consider the fresh proposal submitted by the three members.
