Bush blocks Lashkar, Tameer-e-Nau finances
President George W Bush moved to block the finances of two more groups allegedly linked to terrorism: Pak-based Lashkar-e-Taiba and Umma Tameer-e-Nau. Umma Tameer-e-Nau was established by a former Pakistan atomic energy commission official and masqueraded as a charity for the hungry in Afghanistan. The president said in reality the group gave nuclear weapons information to al-Qaeda network.
