planning, assisting in, preparing, or committing terrorist acts or activities by Lashkar-e-Taiba
Particularly, the sanctions committee said Makki and other LET/JUD operatives have been involved in raising funds, recruiting and
radicalizing youth to violence and preparation attacks in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K)
It held Makki and LET accountable for or having participation in popular terror strikes, consisting of the 26/11 attack on Mumbai, attacks
on CRPF workers in Rampur (2008) and Srinagar( 2018 ), and on the Red Fort on December 2000
