UN accepts India's claim that its most wanted terrorist lives in Pakistan

Xinhua, August 24, 2016 Adjust font size:

The United Nations has finally accepted what India has long been insisting -- this country's most wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim lives in Pakistan.

A UN committee Tuesday endorsed six of the nine addresses that India had provided as Ibrahim's hideouts in the Pakistani city of Karachi.

However, the terrorist's other three addresses provided by India have been found to be incorrect.

Pakistan has refuted the claims, saying the information given by India to the UN is "false" and India is aimed maligning Islamabad and undermining its efforts to curb terrorism.

Experts have termed the validation of the six addresses of the 59-year-old mafia don in Pakistan as a big diplomatic victory for India, as Islamabad has all along denied giving Ibrahim shelter.

India accuses Ibrahim of masterminding the 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai, which left 250 people dead and more than 700 others injured. Endit
