Anti-terror body condemns Pahalgam attack: Couldn’t have occurred without money

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a global terror watchdog, has condemned the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that killed 26 people on April 22. In its official statement, the FATF said the attack could not have happened without financial support and movement of funds across terror networks from terrorist supporters.

"Terrorist attacks kill, maim and inspire fear around the world. The FATF notes with grave concern and condemns the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April 2025. This, and other recent attacks, could not occur without money and the means to move funds between terrorist supporters," the FATF statement read, without any mention of Pakistan.

FATF, which had removed Pakistan from the grey list in 2022, added that it will be setting up a framework to combat terrorist financing, while also enhancing its focus on the measures undertaken by countries in this regard.
