The recent attack on the Pathankot air base has brought the terror group <keyword id="205704" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Jaish-e-Mohammad">Jaish-e-Mohammad</keyword> (<keyword id="6399588" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Jem">JeM</keyword>) back in limelight, which is led by <keyword id="164868" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Maulana-Masood-Azhar">Maulana Masood Azhar</keyword> and has also been accused of the 2001 Parliament attacks. 
 
Owing to its terrorist activities, United Nations had in the past attempted to ban the JeM, but couldn’t do so because of China's stubbornness on the matter at the request of Pakistan. 
 
JeM has been announced a terrorist organisation in several countries like Australia, Canada, India, the UAE, the UK and the US. 
 In 2009, India had requested the <keyword id="55859" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="UN-Security-Council">UN Security Council</keyword> to ban Azhar but China, which happens to be one of the five permanent members of the group with Veto Powers, didn’t allow the ban. This was perhaps at the request of Pakistan, from where the organisation operates. 
This happened despite the then UPA government providing all the detailed information, about Azhar's involvement in terror activities in India, to China. 
 
However, China argued that the information wasn’t sufficient enough to establish Azhar's involvement in terrorism, as per ET. 
 In 2010, India's request to name Azhar, and <keyword id="218693" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Abdur-Rehman-Makki">Abdur Rehman Makki</keyword> and <keyword id="234365" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Azam-Cheema">Azam Cheema</keyword> of Lashkar on the 1267 sanctions list of the UN was also put on "technical hold" by China. 
 This is not the only case when China didn’t support India in its fight against terrorism. Last year, China had blocked India’s effort to question Pakistan at the <keyword id="45167" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="UNSC">UNSC</keyword> (as per resolution 1267). The questioning was to be done over the release of <keyword id="147423" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Zaki-ur-Rehman-Lakhvi">Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi</keyword>, the <keyword id="41305" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="LeT">LeT</keyword> commander and the brain behind 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. The same “insufficient information" alibi was used in this matter as well. 
 Also, Beijing has thrice blocked India's bids to get <keyword id="44125" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Jamaat-ud-Dawa">Jamaat-ud-Dawa</keyword> added to the UNSC terror list, which was finally done in December 2008. Not only this, China also stalled India's effort to get <keyword id="50913" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hizbul-Mujahideen">Hizbul Mujahideen</keyword>'s <keyword id="105621" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Syed-Salahuddin">Syed Salahuddin</keyword> added to the 1267 sanctions list early last year.

China isn’t agreeing to UN’s attempt to ban Masood Azhar, one of India’s most wanted terrorists!

<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=china&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">China</a> is in damage control mode now after it spoilt India’s party and not supported it for the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=NSG&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">NSG bid</a>. 
 
Chinese Home (Public Security) Minister Guo Shengkun is coming to India for Confidence Building Measure and will meet his Indian counterpart <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=rajnath+singh&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Rajnath Singh</a>. 
 
Both the sides will explore counter-terror cooperation against the growth and spread of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=islamic+state&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Islamic State</a>. 
 
The Chinese minister’s visit is viewed as an effort to soothe India’s wounds after China blocked its entry into the coveted Nuclear Supplier's Group. 
 Meanwhile, India and China will discuss global terror including the region in the backdrop of penetration of <keyword id="304620" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Islamic-State">Islamic State</keyword> in restive Xinjiang province of China, people familiar with the developments told ET. 
 
However, ET reported Singh will indulge in some plain speaking and urge Guo for ale Beijing's policy of opposing Delhi's move for a UN ban on Maulana Masood Azhar, JeM Chief and Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi of Lashkar-e-Tayyiba -- both based in Pakistan, an all weather ally of Beijing. 
 
Earlier this year China once again vetoed India's move in the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=UN+Security+Council&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">UN Security Council</a> to ban Azhar. China was the only country that opposed notwithstanding support from rest 14 members of the council. 
 
They are also going to launch India-China "High Level Mechanism" for cooperation on internal security, according to government sources. 
Singh and Guo could also discuss issues like poverty, unemployment and underdevelopment that also fuel terror and share perspectives on de-radicalization measures.

This ban will restrict the movement of these suspects as they won’t be able to freely travel, their assets would be frozen, and financial penalties would be imposed on them, an official told ET. 
 As per ET sources, the final approval for the list would be given by Home minister <keyword id="6355121" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rajnath-Singh">Rajnath Singh</keyword> and it would then be communicated to the UN through the external affairs ministry.

Memon now has his last hopes pinned on the curative petition pending in the Supreme Court. 
 
Business Insider compiles a list of the top 5 terrorists the Indian government would love to see behind bars: 
 
<keyword id="119079" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Hafiz-Mohammed-Saeed">Hafiz Mohammed Saeed</keyword> 
 This LeT chief is the mastermind behind the <keyword id="630132" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="26/11-Mumbai">26/11 Mumbai</keyword> terror attacks. 
 
The founder of LeT is currently in Pakistan after being released from house arrest. The Pak government had arrested him on many occasions but no criminal charges were leveled against him. 
 Saeed’s Jamaat-ud-Dawa is believed to be a cover for LeT operations. The rise of LeT in Kashmir is credited to Saeed's alleged links with the <keyword id="6357143" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="ISI">ISI</keyword> and the Pakistani military. 
 
Zaki-ur-Rehman-Lakhvi 
 
Lakvhi is reportedly second in the LeT ranks, and is in-charge of its recruitments and operations. 
 
He is credited to be the one who recruited and trained the terrorists in the 26/11 attacks. India has claimed he also supervised the recruitment of Azam Cheema who was accused in the2006 Mumbai rail network bombing case. 
 
<keyword id="179979" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Dawood-Ibrahim-Kaskar">Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar</keyword> 
 
The head of the infamous D-company had to feature in the list. Son of a Maharashtra constable, Dawood is accused of the most destructive bomb explosions in Indian history – the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts. He is also believed to be involved in the 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes. 
 Predicted to be hiding in Karachi, Pakistan, Dawood was allegedly attached to Al Qaeda chief <keyword id="41240" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Osama-bin-Laden">Osama Bin Laden</keyword> and also involved in the <keyword id="6354312" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="IPL">IPL</keyword> spot fixing scandal. 
 
Syed Salahuddin 
 
The chief of Hizbul Mujahideen wants Kashmir to unite with Pakistan. He allegedly has links with ISI and the Pakistani army. He is responsible for terror strikes in Jammu and Kashmir. 
 
Maulana Masood Azhar 
 
This Pakistani Mujaheddin leader has waged a war on India in the Kashmir valley. 
 
However, Maulana came into the limelight after he was released from captivity as India was forced to trade-off the lives of passengers in a hijacked Indian Airlines flight. The hijack saw a dead passenger, a few others injured and three militants being released from Indian captivity. 
 
Since then Maulana has led many anti-India operations, including the attack on the Indian parliament in 2001.

A year after the two-month border skirmish, the Modi administration is all set to sign India’s first ever security cooperation pact with China. According to a report by the Press Trust of India, China’s Minister of Public Security, Zhao Kezhi, will sit down with Rajnath Singh, the Union Home Minister, in New Delhi today to sign the bilateral agreement. The pact will cover a number of areas, including but not limited to counter-terrorism operations, drug and human trafficking, strategic intelligence sharing, natural disaster mitigation as well as China’s infrastructure development activities in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK). Kezhi will also meet Ajit Doval, India’s National Security Advisor, to discuss certain aspects of the agreement. The pact could portend a future treaty on the exchange of prisoners. All will not be smooth sailing, however. India is likely to raise a number of contentious issues with China. Firstly, it will try and establish a consensus on the placement of Maulana Masood Azhar, the head of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) - a terrorist outfit in <keyword id="3001" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pakistan">Pakistan</keyword> aimed at taking back <keyword id="6354495" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="kashmir">Kashmir</keyword>), on the UN sanctions list. It will also cover the China’s practice of granting stapled visas to residents of disputed areas in Arunachal Pradesh. There will, however, be no mention of the line of control or border disputes. The agreement has reportedly been in the works since 2015, undergoing multiple amendments based on objections raised by both sides. It was given a renewed impetus in April this year after India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at an informal summit in <keyword id="208994" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Wuhan">Wuhan</keyword>. As China takes a larger role in <keyword id="52011" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="South-Asia">South Asia</keyword>, it has also solicited India’s help in working in other countries. Earlier this month, India and China started a programme <a href="https://in.reuters.com/article/india-china-afghanistan/india-china-launch-joint-training-for-afghanistan-plan-more-projects-idINKCN1MP1KB">to jointly train Afghan diplomats</a>. The joint approach towards development could be extended to other countries in the region such as Bhutan, Myanmar and Nepal.

India and China are set to sign their first ever security cooperation agreement today

Fresh firing continued this morning too. A fresh grenade blast claimed the life of an <keyword id="44790" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="NSG">NSG</keyword> commando, as three others succumbed to injuries in a hospital, taking the toll of Indian security personnel to seven since yesterday’s firing. 
 
Lt Col Niranjan, a member of the NSG's Bomb Disposal Squad, was killed while he was defusing the grenade at the scene of the terror attack as part of the combing operations that continued through the night. Four other security men were also injured in the blast. 
 
Defence sources said Niranjan, a resident of Kerala, was killed while trying to retrieve the grenade from the body of a dead terrorist. 
 
Three members of the Defence Security Corps (DSC) succumbed to injuries in the hospital here during the night. Home Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted: "Pained to know about the demise of Lt Col Niranjan of NSG during mopping up operations in <keyword id="6367205" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Pathankot">Pathankot</keyword>. The nation salutes his sacrifice." 
 
Four attackers, a Garud commando and three DSC were killed yesterday when heavily-armed Pakistani terrorists had attempted to storm the base, triggering a day-long gunbattle at the airbase, barely 35 kms from the Indo-Pak border. 
 
Among those battling for their lives in the hospital are 8 DSC personnel and a Garud commando. 
 
Meanwhile, the joint combing operation was still underway, a police official said, adding that the NIA had taken over the probe into the terror incident. Some senior officials of the Punjab Police led by DGP Suresh Arora are also present here. The official said the operation will end only after a thorough search, going on inside the <keyword id="6355075" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="IAF">IAF</keyword> base and nearby areas, was completed. 
 
Various security agencies, including the Army, Indian Air Force, Central forces and Punjab Police were involved in the joint operation. 
 
A large cache of arms and ammunition have already been recovered during the sanitisation and search operations. 
 
IAF helicopters were also seen flying over the base and nearby areas to assist the ground forces in the operations. 
 
In the wee hours yesterday, the group of terrorists in army fatigues had attempted to storm the base with the obvious intent of destroying MiG-21 fighter jets and MI-25 attack helicopters housed there. The attackers were believed to have infiltrated from Pakistan and there was speculation that they may belong to Jaish-e-Mohammad headed Maulana Masood Azhar of the Kandahar hijack episode. 
 
The terrorists were carrying Under Barrel Grenade Launchers, 52 mm mortars, AK rifles and GPS machine. 
 
Based on intercepts, security agencies believe that one Nazeer from Bahawalpur in Pakistan was leading the group. 
Defence sources said the terrorists sneaked into the nearly 2000-acre air base through a forested area where they were confronted by the Quick Reaction Team of Garud commandos. They managed to go up to 400 metres but were still 700 metres away from the area where the IAF aircraft fighters were stationed.
