Pakistan back on 'grey list' for ignoring warnings on terrorism financing
France has officially put Pakistan on the 'grey list' for financial aid to global terrorists, states Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
This action was taken during a plenary meeting in Paris with the global watchdog. There was an argument that Pak has despite warning has failed to take necessary action against increase terrorist funding on its soil.
A private Pakistani TV news channel Geo News aired a report that stated that interim Pak Finance Minister Dr Shamshad Akhtar pleaded the FATF to not add the countries name in 'grey list'.

Although no official announcement from #FATF has been made, Pakistan has been unable to avoid being put on the grey list, according to sources. If this is so,it is a moment of sobriety and pause for all: the caretaker cabinet, political class/incoming government and the military
