Washington: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has filed a report in the Congress on Saturday to brand the Haqqani network as a terrorist group.
She said, “Today, I have sent a report to Congress saying that the Haqqani Network meets the statutory criteria of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) for designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).”
AFP reported Clinton told US lawmakers she would now press ahead with the designation, which will make it a crime in the country to provide the Haqqanis with any material support, and freeze any of their property or interests in the US.
