Big win for India: FATF cites Pak as example of nations flouting weapons control norms

A Financial Action Task Force (FATF) report exposed Pakistan’s missile development program, citing a 2020 seizure of dual-use goods bound for Karachi. The shipment, intercepted by Indian customs, contained equipment critical for ballistic missile technology mis-declared in export documents and linked to Pakistan’s National Development Complex. This disclosure intensifies scrutiny of state-sponsored terrorism, potentially leading to renewed calls for sanctions.
