Afghan warlord assets are frozen
Topics: Middle East News and Perspectives
Iran has frozen bank accounts belonging to a former Afghan warlord
suspected of joining forces with Taleban and al-Qaeda militants, the UN
says.
The chairman of one of the UN's sanction committees says Iran has frozen "considerable assets" under the control of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

His Hezb-e-Islami group is suspected of carrying out attacks on foreign and Afghan forces in Afghanistan.
However, he did not give the names of those arrested or the amount of assets frozen.
It sounds as though Iran would like to put a positive spin on their war on terror activities, probably just long-enough for them to complete the development of an atomic bomb to threaten the West with. Hopefully, we're not falling for it.
