Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) each introduced a resolution Tuesday saying that in addition to the designation, the State Department should freeze all Afghan government assets held in the U.S. and work to ensure that other countries take similar steps….the Taliban is not on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations.
The resolutions come a week after the Taliban announced its interim Afghan government, which includes hard-line leaders from their previous reign in the late 1990s. No women are part of the interim government.
Acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani is on the FBI’s most wanted list.
