UN orders freeze on Taliban funds
The United Nations ordered a global freeze on assets held by every member of the former Taliban government in Afghanistan, vastly expanding the list of individuals and organizations whose holdings are blocked after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The new list names 152 Taliban officials, beginning with Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar, and ending with senior officials in government ministeries from the education department to zoning. It also includes accounts of Afghan-related businesses, including one held at a Citibank in New Delhi, India.
