UN removes five Taliban members from blacklist
Last Updated:
The United Nations Security Council has removed five members of the Taliban from its sanctions blacklist.
The decision to release the five from an asset freeze and travel ban was taken as part of an overall review of the U-N sanctions list.
Three of the men have already made peace with the Afghan government, and two of them are dead.
The Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been seeking such a move in order to ease reconciliation talks with insurgents.
