France wants Masood Azhar to be declared as terrorist at UN
France has backed India's decision to designate Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar as an international terrorist at the United Nations. This comes days after China blocked India's proposal for the same. Azhar was one of the three terrorists freed by the Indian government in exchange of hostages of Indian Airlines aircraft IC-814, which was hijacked to Kandahar in December 1999.
