Three Pakistanis named for supporting attacks: US Treasury Dept.
The United States Treasury Department on Thursday named three Pakistanis who were acting on behalf of terrorist organizations and banned Americans from any dealings with them.
Treasury said Amanullah Afridi and Mati ur-Rehman were supporters of Lashkar-e Jhangvi (LJ), and said Abdul Rauf Axhar was acting on behalf of Jaish-e Mohammed (JEM). Treasury described LJ and JEM as Pakistan-based terrorist organizations. It said LJ was responsible for the 2002 kidnapping and murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl among other acts and said JEM has conducted attacks in India and Afghanistan. In addition to banning Americans from dealing with the three, Treasury said that any assets they have that fall under US jurisdiction will be frozen.
