US designates Pak Taliban chief as global terrorist

January 13, 2015 21:31

The US today designated Maulana Fazlullah, the chief of Pakistani Taliban, as a global terrorist and slapped sanctions against him.

Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan had claimed responsibility for the December 16, 2014 attack on an army school in Peshawar that resulted in the deaths of at least 150 people, mostly children.

The announcement came hours after US Secretary of State John Kerry asked Pakistan to target all terror outfits like LeT, Taliban and the Haqqani network that pose a threat to itself, neighbours like India and America.
