The financial sanctions against five named individuals come as the United States urges Pakistan to clamp down on a group accused of attacking Americans in the region. From Washington, Kim Ghattas.
美国官方宣布对在巴基斯坦和阿富汗境内的所谓“危险恐怖组织”实施新的国际制裁,这次财政制裁有名有姓地针对5个人,美国敦促巴基斯坦对该地区一个组织施压,该组织被指控攻击了美国人。Kim Ghattas华盛顿报道。
The move by the US Treasury Department is part of growing American pressure on the Pakistani authorities to do more against the Haqqani network. The group, which has strong ties to Islamabad, is linked to al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and is believed to be behind an attack against the US embassy in Kabul earlier this month. The outgoing US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, said the Haqqani network was a veritable arm of the Pakistani intelligence.
