The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has recognized state-backed financing of terrorism as a global threat, emphasizing that state sponsorship violates international norms . This marks the first time FATF addressed state-linked terror funding as a material risk, reinforcing India’s long-standing claim that Pakistan harbors and finances militant outfits . A recent FATF report also exposed Pakistan’s efforts to smuggle dual-use missile components and linked financial networks to the April 2025 Pahalgam attack . India is likely to push for Pakistan’s return to FATF’s grey list as pressure mounts for tougher global action. (PC: AP)
