Washington:
The United States and Saudi Arabia on Friday imposed sanctions on six entities funding the terror networks of Al Qaida, Taliban and the Lashkar-e-Taiba or LeT, which is responsible for the 26/11 Mumbai attacks that had left 166 people dead.
India welcomed the sanctions placed on four individuals and two organisations that are spread across Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.
A communique from the US Department of Treasury said it "designated James Alexander McLintock, Al-Rahmah Welfare Organisation, Abdul Aziz Nuristani, the Jamia Asariya Madrassa, Naveed Qamar, and Muhammad Ijaz Safarash, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists".
"Today's action marks yet another step in Treasury's efforts to financially cripple terrorist financiers and demonstrates the United States' and Saudi Arabia's shared resolve to target those who support terrorism," said Adam J Szubin, US Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.
