United Nations (UN) has declared Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Noor Wali Mehsud as a global terrorist.
The UN has blacklisted Mehsud for participating in the financing, planning and perpetrating acts on behalf of and in support of entities associated with al-Qaeda.
1267 ISIL and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee
The UN Security Council’s 1267 ISIL and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee added Mehsud to the ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions List subjecting the Pakistani national to an assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo.
Mehsud was named the leader of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in June 2018, following the death of former TTP leader Maulana Fazlullah.
The TTP was blacklisted by the UN on July 29, 2011 for its association with al-Qaeda.
