US sanctions Lahore money-changer for LeT links
The US Treasury alleged that Muhammad Iqbal, who owns and runs the Asma Money Exchangers in Lahore, conducts financial transactions on behalf of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its affiliates.
It said he is a founding member and finance secretary of the charity Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation, which the US named as a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba in 2010.
In this role and as owners of Asma Money Exchangers, Iqbal solicited donations for and sent money to officials of Lashkar-e-Taiba, it said.
"As a result of today's action, all property and interests in the United States or in the possession or control of US persons in which Iqbal and Asma Money Exchangers have an interest are blocked, and US persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions with them," the Treasury said.

Pak govt. will say there is no proof against the money-changer and then will wonder why the world is turning against it.

I am happy the US, EU and even the Gulf states are acting against terror groups that target India. The entire credit goes to the powerful Indian diaspora in the US and they're gaining more power each year. I am proud of them.
Hafiz Saeed has links with many such entities abroad. That's why his organization has been declared a global terrorist organization.
