The US Department of Treasury designated the trio as “global terrorists” for their links to terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and The Taliban. This has been done as part of our efforts to disrupt South Asian terrorist support networks, the Treasury said. The three include Rahman Zeb Faqir Muhammad, Hizb Ullah Astam Khan and Dilawar Khan Nadir Khan. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) had in July 2009 designated Aminullah for providing material support to Al-Qaeda, LeT and the Taliban. Hizb Ullah Astam Khan (Hizb Ullah) was designated for acting for or on behalf of Aminullah.
