  • Question
  • Who was designated as 'global terrorist' by 1267 Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) recently?


  • Options
  • A. Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh
  • B. Masood Azhar
  • C. Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar
  • D. Rashid Rauf

  • Correct Answer
  • Masood Azhar 

    Explanation
    The 1267 Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) designated Pakistan based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) leader Masood Azhar as a 'global terrorist' on May 1, 2019. This could be possible because China has lifted its technical hold on the proposal to blacklist Masood Azhar. In earlier four instances, China had blocked the proposal to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist. This is a huge diplomatic win for India and also a symbolic victory towards the fight against terrorism. This time the proposal was moved by P3 countries (USA, France and United Kingdom), a permanent member to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), on February 27, 2019 to designate Azhar as a global terrorist. This move was the response of deadly terror attack in Pulwama by Pakistan based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) which killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans.
