New Delhi: Jamaat-ud-Dawa, the banned frontal organisation of Lashkar-e-Toiba, still has two websites running.

While one of the website is in English and the other is in Urdu and both are being hosted by American companies.

The websites have been unearthed by a Jewish group that fights terrorist groups using the Internet.

The website in English has received 14 posts in the last nine days and one of them is a poem titled 'Manmohan Singh and JuD in a Dream'.

It is illegal for American companies to provide services to Jamaat-ud-Dawa as it is a front for the LeT. But despite the ban, the websites have not been deactivated.

Jamaat was banned earlier in the month by the al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council after it was declared as a terrorist organisation.

The committee has added Jamaat and four Lashkar leaders to a list of firms and people facing sanctions for ties to al-Qaeda or the Taliban, the UN said.

The terrorists added to the sanctions list include Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, which the UN statement described as the leader of the group.

The others are Pakistan-born Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the chief of operations, Haji Muhammad Ashraf, the chief of finance, and India-born Mahmoud Mohammad Ahmed Bahaziq, described as a financier for the group who served as its chief in Saudi Arabia.

The same four were hit with US Treasury Department sanctions in May. The UN sanctions, covered by Security Council resolution 1267 from 1999, include the mandatory freezing of assets and travel bans.
