US lists 2 Pak-based groups as global terrorists
The US on Wednesday designated two Pakistan-based Islamist groups with links to Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The organisations are Tariq Gidar Group (TGG), blamed for the 2014 massacre at the Army Public School in Peshawar, and Jama’at ul Dawa al-Qu’ran (JDQ). This blocks all their properties under US jurisdiction and prohibits any transaction with them.
