"On 19 February 2003 the United States State Department and the United States Treasury Department jointly designated Hekmatyar a "global terrorist".[41] This designation meant that any assets Hekmatyar held in the USA, or held through companies based in the US, would be frozen. The US also requested the United Nations Committee on Terrorism to follow suit, and designate Hekmatyar an associate of Osama bin Laden." [Wikipedia]
