US Judge Rules Out 9/11 Victims from Being Entitled to Seize Assets of Afghan Central Bank
|
[KhaamaPress] A US judge reportedly concluded on Friday that the 9/11 victims were not entitled to and are precluded from seizing assets owned by the Afghan Central Bank that are worth billions of dollars.
According to Naseer Ahmad Faiq, Chargé d’Affaires of Afghanistan’s Permanent Mission to the UN, the New York court rejected the request for compensation from Afghanistan’s frozen assets to the September 11 victims.
In a tweet sent out on August 27th, Faiq offered his congratulations to the Afghan people and expressed his hope that the country’s frozen assets would soon be released, with the money going toward development and aid for the country’s poor.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn ruled that the Central Bank of Afghanistan aka Da Afghanistan Bank was beyond of the jurisdiction and that authorizing the seizures would amount to the US president recognizing the Islamist Death Eater group as the Afghan government, Rooters reported.
"The Taliban
...Arabic for students ...
’s victims have fought for years for justice, accountability, and compensation. They are entitled to no less," the conclusion of the ruling noted.
The United States and other Western countries ceased providing aid to Afghanistan after foreign troops withdrew and the Taliban retook control of the country on August 15, 2021.
They also have frozen the assets of Afghanistan, preventing the Taliban, the de facto government of Afghanistan.
U.S. President Joe The Big Guy Biden

ordered $3.5 billion of that amount to be allocated "for the benefit of the Afghan people" in an executive order in February, leaving the victims to pursue the remaining funds in court.
Meanwhile,

US officials announced on August 15 that Biden’s administration has opted not to release any of the Central Bank of Afghanistan’s $7 billion in assets.
