Dawood, now Iqbal Seth alias Amir Sahib who was so far living in the posh Clifton area of Karachi, has recently shifted to "an ISI safe house in Islamabad" after the US declared him an "international terrorist", the sources said while confirming a report in this regard appeared in South Asia Tribune. The don had a few months ago visited South Waziristan on the Pak-Afghan border, the scene of the recent fighting between al-Qaeda/Taliban and US-led coalition and Pakistani forces. The officials said Dawood had gone there to meet his contacts in Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba and extend material support.

Dawood, whose name figures in India's list of 20 wanted terrorists and criminals submitted to Pakistan, has been declared in 2003 a global terrorist by the US Treasury Department which also accused him of having "financially supported Islamic militant groups working against India, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba". The officials said after the US included his name in List 'C', describing him as an associate of al-Qaeda, he was finding it difficult to get out of Pakistan. |
