Washington, July 2: The US has frozen the assets of four Pakistani terrorists for alleged involvement in a series of terrorist activities in India, including the July 2006 train bombing in Mumbai and February 2007 bombing in the Samjhauta Express.
The US treasury department Wednesday slapped sanctions on the four - Arif Qasmani, Fazeel-A-Tul Shaykh Abu Mohammed Ameen al-Peshawari, Mohammed Yahya Mujahid and Nasir Javaid - by designating them as part of support networks of Al Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Taeba (LeT) in Pakistan.
"The designated individuals have provided direct support to Al Qaeda and LeT and have facilitated terrorist attacks, including the July 2006 train bombing in Mumbai," the Treasury said in a statement.
LeT, a Pakistan-based terrorist group with links to Osama bin Laden and the Al Qaeda network, blamed for the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the US Dec 26, 2001 and designated under a UN Security Council Resolution May 2, 2005.
