U.S. Official: Nations Have "Common Interest" Against Terrorism

A U.S. official assigned to the United Nations has blasted the Taliban regime of Afghanistan for harboring terrorists, Usama bin Laden in particular.

"As long as the Taliban leadership continues to harbor terrorists -- in particular Usama bin Laden -- and to promote terrorism, it remains a threat to international peace and security," said Ambassador Nancy Soderberg, the alternate U. S. representative to the United Nations for special political affairs, December 19.

Speaking before the Security Council voted to impose new sanctions against the Taliban, she called on the Taliban to end their support of terrorism now.

She said the sanctions are designed to avoid harm to the Afghan people and the Taliban have an obligation to guarantee the safety of humanitarian workers and all United Nations personnel in Afghanistan.

1. Didn't the freak monkey lift those sanctions after stealing the WH?

I'm pretty sure he did; otherwise, he couldn't have given the Taliban $43 million on May 22, 2001.
