Six addresses of Dawood in Pak get obvious UN confirmation

From Yoshita Singh United Nations, Aug 23 (PTI) Six of the nine addresses ofunderworld don Dawood Ibrahim in Pakistan, provided by India,have got an obvious confirmation from the UN which has removedthree from the list as those were found to be incorrect. India, in a dossier, had cited these nine addresses inPakistan as those frequented by Dawood, the mastermind of 1993Mumbai serial blasts. The Security Council’s ISIL and Al-Qaida SanctionsCommittee amended its entry yesterday concerning Dawood with"underline and strikethrough". While six addresses provided by India have not beenamended, three have been removed. One of the three addresses which have been dropped by theCommittee from its list was found similar to that of aresidence of Islamabad’s envoy to the UN Maleeha Lodhi. In the amendment, the Committee has stricken through theaddress "Main Property at Margalla Raod F- 6/2 Street no.22,House No.07, Islamabad number 29 in Karachi. This address waslater found to be similar to that of a residence belonging toLodhi." When asked about the amendment, a top Indian officialhere told PTI that one address of Dawood in the listing entrywas incorrect. The address was "of Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi,and not Dawood Ibrahim", the sources said. "The amendment also strikes through other addresses "8thFloor of Mehran Square, near Pardesi House-3, Talwar Area,Clifton, Karachi, Pakistan" and "6/A Kjauabam Tanzeem,Phase-5, Defence Housing Araea, Karachi, Pakistan." In evidence to show that Dawood Ibrahim is holed up inPakistan, a dossier prepared by India had listed nineresidences of the underworld don in that country and statedthat he is known to frequently change his locations andaddresses there. "On 22 August 2016, the Security Council Committeepursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and2253 (2015) enacted the amendments specified with underlineand strikethrough in the entry" concerning Dawood on its ISIL(DaÂ’esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions List of individuals andentities subject to the assets freeze, travel ban and armsembargo, it said. Dawood’s other addresses mentioned in the listing"Karachi, Pakistan (White House, Near Saudi Mosque, Clifton)","House Nu 37 – 30th Street – defence, Housing Authority,Karachi, Pakistan" and "Palatial bungalow in the hilly area ofNoorabad in Karachi" have not been amended. The addresses were included in a dossier prepared byIndia in August last year that had listed nine residences ofthe underworld don in Pakistan as evidence to show that he isholed up in Pakistan. Islamabad has consistently denied that Dawood is livingin the country. PTI YAS ABH AKKAKK
