| #1 The Obama administration is scrambling to add the Pakistani Taliban to its list of Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), a register that already has other Pakistani terrorist organizations such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e—Mohammed, and Harkat-ul-Mujahiddin. US lawmakers led by New York Senator Charles Schumer are pressing the State Department to update its 45-strong FTO list that does not appear to have kept pace with the rapidly evolving face of terrorism in Pakistan where various terrorist outfits are now believed to coordinate their activities closely and often morph into new organizations. I guess the meanings of the words rapidly evolving and suddenly realized can be confusing at times. And I don't know if scrambling is the right word so much as digging up the prepared paperwork might be. |
