Dawood Ibrahim's nephew arrested in US for narco-terrorism

Wanted underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's nephew Sohail Kaskar was arrested by United States authorities in December 2015 for narco-terrorism, reports a leading English daily. 

According to the report, 36-year-old Kaskar has been arrested for conspiring to commit narco-terrorism, provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and illegally sell missile launching systems. Kaskar was reportedly attempting to sell the narcotics and the arms to the Columbian terrorist group FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia).

Kaskar and two other Pakistan nationals Pirzada Hameed Chisti, aka Benny, and Abdul Wahab Chisti, aka Angel were arrested by the United States'  Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in December 2015 after being extradited from Spain.

However, Dawood Ibrahim and his associates reportedly tried their best to hush up the news to prevent his 'international image' from being hurt. Dawood is said to have been angry with his nephew for not keeping him in the loop about his dealings and is reportedly embarrassed about his arrest. 

Kaskar, is the older son of Dawood's deceased younger brother Noor. Dawood reportedly provided his nephew with a top lawyer Tom Keniff. 

The Manhattan federal court had charged Kaskar for supplying surface-to-air missiles to FARC and for bringing drugs from Pakistan into the US. He can face a maximum sentence of life in jail and a mandatory minimum term of 25 years in prison.
