Pakistan to ban JuD and Haqqani network?

timesofindia



Pakistan plans to ban 10 terror outfits, including 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and the dreaded Afghan-based Haqqani Network, a move seen by experts as a "paradigm shift" in the country's security policy in the wake of Peshawar school massacre.

The move came a day after the US declared the fugitive chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan Mullah Fazlullah as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist' following secretary of state John Kerry's visit to Pakistan this week.

A formal announcement to this effect would be made in "coming days", The Express Tribune said, citing official sources.
