ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has made it easier to seize and freeze the assets of people and groups facing U.N. sanctions, the foreign ministry said, part of intensified efforts to dismantle Islamist militant groups.
The bomb attack led to the most serious conflict in years between the nuclear-armed neighbors with cross-border air strikes and a brief dogfight over the skies of Kashmir.Pakistan has long used some Islamist groups to pursue its aims in the region, but it has denied Indian accusations it actively supports militants fighting Indian forces in India’s part of the disputed Muslim-majority region of Kashmir.
Ministry spokesman Mohammad Faisal said the order was passed by the cabinet of Prime Minister Imran Khan. On Monday, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said Pakistan had developed a “full-fledged strategy” to deal with militants and the government was looking to close “loopholes” that allowed banned groups to operate.A senior counter-terrorism official told Reuters the government was looking to set up a coordination “cell” to oversee action against militants.
