[THEBAGHDADPOST] Pak authorities announced a crackdown on Wednesday against Hafiz Saeed
...founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its false-mustache offshoot Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The United Nations declared the JuD a terrorist organization in 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader. Hafiz, JuD and LeT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Pak intel apparatus, so that amounted to squat...
, leader of the group blamed for deadly attacks on Mumbai in 2008, amid growing international pressure to act against hard boy groups.
Pakistain’s counter-terrorism department said it had launched 23 cases against Saeed and 12 aides for using five trusts to collect funds and donations for Lashkar-e-Taiba
 ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed.

(JuD) and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), were also targeted, the department said in a statement.

because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
The counter-terrorism department said the action was in accordance with UN sanctions against the individuals and entities.
The move follows pressure from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which last year placed Pakistain on its "grey list" of countries with inadequate controls over money laundering and terrorism financing.
The international watchdog gave Pakistain an October deadline last month to improve its efforts against terrorism financing. The FATF has said Pakistain could end up on the black list when it reviews progress in a meeting later this year.
Hafiz Saeed, designated a global terrorist by both the United Nations

and the United States, is one of the founders of LeT, or the Army of the Pure. The United States, which has pressured Pakistain to crack down on hard boy groups, has offered a $10 million reward for evidence leading to his conviction.
The LeT has been banned in Pakistain since 2002 and the charities since last year. Saeed, who denies involvement in violence or funding hard boys, has been sprung by Pak courts after being detained at his home several times in the past.
