News Release
Financial Sanctions: Al-Qaida and Taliban
17 August 2007
This news release is issued in respect of the financial measures taken against Al-Qaida and the Taliban.
The Bank of England, as agent for Her Majesty’s Treasury, issues this news release to advise that on 1 August 2007 the United Nations Sanctions Committee removed one entity – De Afghanistan Momtaz Bank - from the UN Consolidated List maintained under Resolution 1390 (2002). The entity therefore no longer falls within the UK financial sanctions regime under the Al-Qaida and Taliban (United Nations Measures) Order 2006. As a result, the entity has been removed from the consolidated list on the Bank of England’s website.
Previous Notices and news releases related to Terrorism, Al-Qaida and the Taliban and a consolidated list of individuals and entities subject to these and other UK financial sanctions regimes are available from the Financial Sanctions pages.
