The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has condemned the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 tourists, stating such acts “could not occur without money and means to move funds” among terror supporters. Without naming Pakistan, FATF vowed stronger frameworks to counter terror financing. India has linked Pakistan-based groups, including Lashkar-e-Taiba and TRF, to the attack, and is now seeking Pakistan’s return to the FATF grey list. Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated, with Indian authorities highlighting cross-border financial support for terrorism. FATF is currently monitoring 24 countries for terror and money laundering risks.
