India has launched a sharp rebuke at Pakistan before the UN Security Council, arguing that the historical capture of 9/11 plotters in settled Pakistani cities proves the country remains a permissive haven for terror networks like Jaish-e-Mohammed.

  • According to GN geopolitics/un, India’s envoy named specific al-Qaeda figures like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh, noting they were apprehended in urban centers rather than remote hideouts to underscore the ongoing sanctuary provided by Pakistan to groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba.
