Taliban Dismisses U.N. Sanctions

They've never been keen on international law

The UN Security Council ordered global sanctions against the Haqqani militant network in Afghanistan, a move welcomed by Kabul but dismissed as meaningless by the Taliban.

The Haqqani group, whose leaders are based in Pakistan, is accused of carrying out a string of major attacks in Afghanistan including strikes against the US and Indian embassies and a major hotel in Kabul.
