US Designates Group Behind Pahalgam Attack ‘Foreign Terrorist Organisation’
The US designated The Resistance Front, an offshoot of the Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, as a “foreign terrorist organisation” over the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
US Department of State on Thursday designated The Resistance Front (TRF), group behind the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, as a terrorist organisation.
The US, therefore, accorded the TRF as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT).
TRF and other associated aliases have been added to LeT’s designation as a FTO and SDGT pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Executive Order 13224, respectively. The Department of State has also reviewed and maintained the FTO designation of LeT. Amendments to FTO designations go into effect upon publication in the Federal Register,” the statement added
India on Friday welcomed the US’s move to designate The Resistance Front (TRF), the group behind the Pahalgam terror attack, as a terrorist organisation and described the effort as “a strong affirmation of India-US counter-terrorism operation”.
