According to the US Department of State’s Terrorism 2020 country reports released on Thursday, Pakistan made little progress in counter-terrorism. According to the research, Pakistan failed to prosecute terrorist leaders such as Masood Azhar, the commander of the JeM, and Let us Sajid Mir, the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

Those attacking Afghanistan, such as the Afghan Taliban and allied HQN, as well as groups targeting India, such as the LeT and its connected front organisations, and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), continue to operate from Pakistani territory, according to the report.

Despite the fact that Pakistan did not act against known terrorists, the report stated that Pakistan made good contributions to the Afghan peace process, including as supporting Taliban violence decreases.

“”In terms of terrorist safe havens, the administration and military functioned incongruently across the country,” the study said. “In 2020, Pakistan made more progress toward completing its Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Action Plan, but it did not complete all Action Plan items, and it remained on the FATF’gray list,” according to the report. Authorities did not go far enough in destroying specific terrorist organisations.”
