The United States backed Syrian Democratic Forces have shared a list of 29 Pakists who are in their custody for fighting for the ISIS, according to media reports.
As per the list, as many as nine Pakist ISIS cadres are women, of whom three have the citizenship of either Turkey or Sudan.
Among the men, one has the citizenship of Canada.
This report has surfaced amid Pakistan's recent attempts to avoid a demotion from the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) grey list to the blacklist during the upcoming October plenary meeting.
Pakistan on Friday imposed sanctions on more than 88 terrorists associated with different terrorist groups, including Daesh, al-Qaida, and Taliban, Pakistan media reported.
Pakistan has been on the grey list in 2008, 2012 and 2015 as well.
Pakistan is in the grey list since June 2018 and the government had given a final warning in February to complete the remaining action points by June 2020. The FATF extended the June deadline to September due to the spread of coronavirus that disrupted the FATF plenary meetings.
While Pakistan tries to showcase its 'efforts' in combatting terrorism, there have been reports from Afghstan giving ample evidence of the presence of Pakist terrorists on its land.
After an attack on Afghstan's Jalalabad prison, there have been speculations that prisoners who escaped were mostly captured Taliban terrorists both from Afghstan and Pakistan.
On August 1, Former Afghan intelligence chief Rahmatullah Nabil had termed agents of Pakist spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) as "termites" who are destroying the Afghstan system stating they pose serious threats to the country and should be confronted.
Nabil, speaking at the press conference, was quoted as saying by the Tolo News, "There are termites which are destroying the system. The ISI (Pakist military intelligence) agents in the system must be confronted."
