The United States (US) annual terrorism report, 'Country Report on Terrorism 2019', said Pakistan was doing too little to counter terrorist groups, particularly those taking aim at rival India and the dreaded Haqqani Network operating in Afghanistan, reports The Times of India reports on June 26. The reported said Pakistan continued to serve as a safe haven for certain regionally-focused terrorist groups. It allowed groups targeting Afghanistan, including the Afghan Taliban and affiliated Haqqani Network, as well as groups targeting India, including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and its affiliated front organisations, and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), to operate from its territory. Islamabad has yet to take decisive actions against Indian and Afghanistan-focused militants who would undermine their operational capability. Thought Pakistan undertook counter-terrorism operations against groups such as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), JeM, LeT, ISIS-K, and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), the country remained a safe harbour for other regionally focused terrorist groups. While Pakistani authorities indicted LeT ‘chief’ Hafiz Saeed and 12 of his associates on December 11, 2019, they have made no effort to use domestic authorities to prosecute other terrorist leaders such as JeM ‘founder’ Masood Azhar and Sajid Mir, the mastermind of LeT’s 2008 Mumbai attacks (26/11), both of whom are widely believed to reside in Pakistan under the protection of the State, despite Government denials.
