IT’s been worth the wait for India. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global watchdog for money laundering and terror financing activities, has finally condemned the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The FATF has stated that such incidents “could not occur without money and the means to move funds between terrorist supporters”. For the record, the watchdog had used the same words while condemning the Pulwama suicide bombing in February 2019. What’s different this time is its declaration that “state-sponsored terrorism” will be part of its upcoming report on terror financing cases.
