Authorities in the United States and the United Kingdom are facing several hurdles as they crack down on a 'pipeline' of operatives, supporters and financiers that shuttles terrorists from Pakistan, according to Newsweek.

This, the American newsmagazine reported in a web exclusive, became apparent from the case of Mohammed al-Ghabra, a 26-year-old London man who was named as a major organizer for Al Qaeda and other terror groups, including Iraqi insurgents, by the Bush administration just before Christmas.

In a statement accompanying its formal order freezing any US assets Ghabra might control, US Treasury official Adam Szubin alleged that the target of the sanctions 'has backed Al Qaeda and other violent jihadist groups, facilitating travel for recruits seeking to meet with Al Qaeda leaders and taken part in terrorist training.'

The Treasury statement also accused Ghabra of maintaining contact with UK-based jihadists involved in the radicalization of British Muslims through the dissemination of 'extremist' media; Ghabra was also accused of training at a terror camp in Kashmir run by a jihadist group called Harakat Ul-Mujahidin.
