State Bank of Pakistan is fighting an uphill battle to crack down on financing for Islamic militant groups, after moves to freeze bank accounts failed to cut off their financial lifeline, officials said today. The State Bank of Pakistan has frozen 24 accounts held by outlawed Islamic militant groups over the last year and a half, containing 591 million rupees ($10.2 million) in deposits, a senior SBP official told Reuters on the condition of anonymity.
