WASHINGTON: The US today designated Kashmiri militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen as a foreign terrorist organisation, nearly two months after declaring the outfit’s Pakistan-based chief Syed Salahuddin as a global terrorist.
The designation, which slaps a series of American sanctions on the militant group, came against the backdrop of upsurge in its terror activities in Kashmir in recent months. (AGENCIES)
