| 2017-08-17 | |
| [DAWN] The United States added the Kashmiri separatist group Hizbul Mujahideen to its blacklist of terrorist organizations on Wednesday, amidst renewed protests against Indian oppression in the region. US authorities had already designated the group's leader, Syed Salahuddin ...the aging, morbidly obese chief of Hizbul Mujaheddin and the titular head of the United Jihad Council in idyllic Kashmire. Originally owned body and theoretical soul by Jamaat-e-Islami, he and his organization are currently controlled by Pakistain's ISI. Salahuddin's hobbies include crocheting doilies shaped like the Taj Mahal, combing his enormous beard, and eating.... , a "global terrorist", but he is still able to operate in Kashmire, where his group has strong support. The State Department designation bans US citizens and residents from dealing with the group and any assets found to belong to the Hizbul Mujahideen in areas under US jurisdiction will be frozen. "Today's action notifies the US public and the international community that Hizbul Mujahideen is a terrorist organization," the department said.
