Pak may escape Financial Action Task Force blacklist at Paris plenary

Chances of Pakistan escaping the dreaded FATF blacklist at its plenary next month in Paris have increased after it got the all clear on 14 out of 27 action plans at a recent review meet. While China has pushed to get Pakistan off the hook at the FATF and will continue to make efforts in the next meet, sources said there is a definite softening of the western position on the issue.
