Pakistan based Lashkar-e-Taiba deputy commander Abdul Rehman Makki has been blacklisted by the United Nations as a global terrorist. The U.N. Security Council’s Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee added Makki to its list of individuals and entities subject to an asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo on Monday.
In June last year, China abstained at the last minute from a joint proposal by India and the US to include Makki in the UN Security Council’s 1267 sanctions committee against al-Qaeda. Makki is a US-designated terrorist and brother-in-law of Lashkar-e-Taiba chief and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed.
