India faces terror threats from ISIS, Al-Qaeda groups, states FATF report
Millennium Post Delhi|Delhi 20 September 2024
A shocking declaration by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on Thursday noted that India is facing a "disparate" range of terror threats, most significantly from ISIL (Islamic State or ISIS) or AQ-linked groups (Al Qaeda) active in and around Jammu and Kashmir.
India faces terror threats from ISIS, Al-Qaeda groups, states FATF report

The global anti-money laundering and terror financing watchdog released India's much anticipated mutual evaluation report, saying the country's systems in these domains were "effective" but "major improvements" were required to strengthen prosecution in such cases.

The 368-page report with a cover picture of India's new Parliament draped in Tricolour lights was released after the assessment was adopted by the Paris-headquartered body during its plenary meeting held in June.

The last such review of India's combating of money laundering and terror financing regime was published in 2010. India will "report back" to the plenary after three years.
