UN freezes assets in anti-terror drive
The United Nations Security Council has ordered a global freeze on the assets of a Pakistani organisation, two former nuclear scientists and a Pakistani industrialist suspected of links to Osama bin Laden.
The council’s committee monitoring sanctions against Afghanistan added the Ummah Tameer-e-Nau group and the three Pakistanis - Sultan Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood, Abdul Majid, and Mohammed Tufail - to its fast-growing list of individuals and organisations linked to bin Laden.
