White House set to pick Zarate for anti-terrorism job
The White House is set to pick a senior Treasury official now charged with fighting terrorism financing for a National Security Council job focused on counter-terrorism efforts, sources said on Wednesday. A congressional source said part of the job for Juan Zarate, currently the Treasury's assistant secretary for terrorism financing, would be to coordinate the work of disparate government agencies involved in the terrorism financing battle. Some current and former officials say turf battles and a lack of coordination between the agencies has undermined the government's efforts to track terrorist financiers, trace funds back to operatives, cut off funding and roll up cells before they can attack.Posted by: Fred 2005-05-13 |
