Pak still harbouring terror outfits: Russia

Moscow, Feb 10: Russia has charged Pakistan with
continuing to harbour numerous extremist and terrorist outfits
who are involved in terrorist activities in foreign countries,
despite having joined the us-led global anti-terror coalition.

"For instance, the Pakistan-based al-Rashid trust
foundation, set up in 1996 for the purpose of rendering
humanitarian relief to afghan refugees in Pakistan, has
subsequently spread its operations further afield covering
the Republic of Chechnya and Kosovo.

"The underlying objective as pursued by that foundation
is propagation of the Jihadi ideology and immediate armed
response to any instance of alleged encroachment upon the
Muslims," Ivanov was quoted as saying by Ria Novosti agency.
