Islamabad, Jan 22 (IBNS): In an attempt to combat against terrorism, the Pakistani government on Thursday said the bank accounts of Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) have been frozen and also imposed foreign travel restrictions on the group's leader and 2008 Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, reports said.

"Pakistan took this decision under the UN obligation and not under pressure from any other quarter including John Kerry," Foreign Office spokesperson Tasneem Aslam was quoted as saying by Dawn.com.

The organisation has been included in the list of the country's banned organisation and hence, its assets were frozen.

The dreadful Haqqani Network has also been banned by the country, however, the organisation does not have bank accounts in Pakistan.

The US and India both have always considered JuD, which was claimed to be the ‘charity’ organisation run by Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, as the sister organisation of banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a militant outfit accused of masterminding 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

A series of twelve coordinated shooting and bombing attacks in Nov 2008 across Mumbai in hotels, religious place, railway station carried out by Pakistani members of Lashkar-e-Taiba.had killed 164 people and wounded at least 308.
