The Taliban urged the US Congress to release Afghan assets

Islamabad: Taliban on Wednesday urged the US Congress to relieve sanctions and release Afghan assets when the country faced economic chaos.
Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said in a statement posted online that frozen assets harm the community, from the health sector to education and other services.
His comment after the Taliban State takeover in August, came a day after the World Food Program warned that millions of people in Afghanistan faced poverty – and as an explosion shook Kabul for the third time in a week.
“American sanctions do not only play chaos with trade and business, but also with humanitarian assistance,” he said in an open letter to members of the US Parliament.
The World Food Program warned on Tuesday that 8.7 million people in Afghanistan were at risk of facing “conditions such as hunger” and an additional 14.1 million suffered an insecure sense of acute.
According to WFP reports, 600,000 displaced people and drought in this country add poverty.
The country also struggles with attacks mostly targeting civilians after the Taliban takeover.
An explosion hit a minivan in the Shiite neighborhood in West Kabul Wednesday, killing at least one person and injuring three others, a Taliban official said.
Zabihullah Mujahid, Deputy Minister of Culture and Information in the Taliban-led government, told the Associated Press that the investigation continued.
He did not describe.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the explosion.
The Islamic group claimed responsibility for the explosion on Saturday which killed one person and injured five others.
A roadside bomb crashed into a taxi in Kabul Monday, injuring two people.
