| Pak shuts down Harakat ul-Mujahedeen |
| 2001-09-29 |
| AP Pakistani authorities shut down a militant group declared a terrorist organization by the United States, hours after the U.N. Security Council ordered all member states to crack down on terrorist organizations. Harakat ul-Mujahedeen, or ``Movement of the Holy Warriors,'' said it was closing down its seven offices under government orders. The movement is one of the largest militant organizations fighting Indian soldiers in the disputed Kashmir region and was declared a terrorist organization by United States years ago. Wonder if they'll stay closed? |
