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.
