KABUL and several other militant organisations, a media report said on Thursday.
The Ministry of Interior in Islamabad had also included the Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) in the list of proscribed organisation, the English-language newspaper Dawn reported.
It quoted an unnamed interior ministry official as saying the United States had long pressed for the ban on the Haqqani network and the Jamaatud Dawa but the decision was delayed.
But after the Taliban attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar, the government moved to take action against all militants without any distinction, the daily reported.
Harkat-ul-Jihad Tameer-i-Nau, Haji Khairullah Hajji Sattar Money Exchange, Rahat Limited, Roshan Money Exchange, Al Akhtar Trust and Al Rashid Trust have also been banned.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, during his recent visit to Islamabad, had praised the decision to slap a ban on the Haqqani network and the Jamaatud Dawa, the newspaper said.
Relevant government departments have been instructed to initiate immediate steps to freeze the assets of the banned outfits, including the Haqqani, which was founded by Jalaluddin Haqqani.
