A U.S. judge decided on Tuesday that victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks are not entitled to seize $3.5 billion of assets belonging to Afghanistan's central bank to satisfy court judgments they obtained against the Taliban.
"The Taliban - not the former Islamic Republic of Afghanistan or the Afghan people - must pay for the Taliban's liability in the 9/11 attacks," he added.
"This decision deprives over 10,000 members of the 9/11 community of their right to collect compensation from the Taliban," said Lee Wolosky, a lawyer for one creditor group known as the Havlish plaintiffs. "We believe it is wrongly decided and will appeal."In an executive order last February, U.S. President Joe Biden ordered $3.5 billion of the DAB funds set aside to benefit the Afghan people.that money to a Swiss-based trust beyond the Taliban's reach.
He also said Afghanistan, as opposed to the Taliban, neither qualified as a "terrorist party" nor had been designated a state sponsor of terrorism. U.S. sanctions ban doing financial business with the Taliban but allow humanitarian support for the Afghan people.
