Pakistan has complied with curbs: UN official
A senior United Nations official has said Pakistan has "satisfactorily complied" with the UN's sanctions on terrorist groups, a top world body official said.
Richard Barrett, Coordinator of the Security Council established al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Monitoring Committee, told CNN-IBN television that it was difficult to implement the sanctions completely, but the UN had found all Pakistani agencies were cooperative. "I found in all my dealings with officials in Pakistan, whether it's the government, elected officials, ministries or the intelligence services or the Army, a very good atmosphere of cooperation between them as well as with us," Barrett was quoted as saying."It is very difficult for a state to implement that (sanctions) completely, but yes in a way Pakistani government is working to ensure fruitful compliance," he said.
