LeT charity designated terror group by Treasury
A charitable front for Lashkar-e-Taiba and three of their senior leaders have been targeted by the Treasury Department as global terrorists.

The Treasury added the Falah-i Insaniat Foundation (FIF) as a terrorist organization, and FIF leader Hafiz Abdur Rauf, Mian Abdullah and Mohammad Naushad Alam Khan, to the list of designated global terrorists. This designation allows the US to freeze their assets and prevent them from using financial institutions, and prosecute them for terrorist activities.

"Few individuals are more integral to LET's fundraising than Hafiz Abdur Rauf and Mian Abdullah," said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Stuart Levey.

The designations took place twenty days after the Treasury sanctioned Lashkar-e-Taiba leaders Azam Cheema, a top commander in the planning of the Mumabi assault, and Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki, a politican. Jaish-e-Mohammed and its leader, Maulana Massod Azhar, were designated as terrorist organizations at the same time.

Hafiz Saeed, the leader of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, designated by the US and the UN as a terrorist, remains free in Pakistan despite open support of jihad in India and Pakistan, and regardless of LeT's involvement in the Mumbai attack as well as others. Pakistani Army corps commanders openly associate with Saeed.
