Pakistan issues financial sanctions against the Taliban just as the militant group is in the midst of a U.S.-led peace process in Afghanistan.

Pakistan issued sweeping financial sanctions against Afghanistan’s Taliban, just as the militant group is in the midst of a U.S.-led peace process in the neighboring country.

The orders were issued as part of Pakistan’s efforts to avoid being blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force, which monitors money laundering and tracks terrorist groups’ activities, according to security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.Last year the Paris-based group put Pakistan on a “gray list.

Pakistan has denied giving sanctuary to the Taliban following their ouster in 2001 by the U.S.-led coalition, but both Washington and Kabul routinely accused Islamabad of giving them a safe haven.Still, it was Pakistan’s relationship with the Taliban that the U.S. eventually sought to exploit to move its peace negotiations with the insurgent movement forward. American officials signed a peace deal with the Taliban on Feb. 29.

The timing of Pakistan’s decision to implement the sanctions could also be seen as a move to pressure the Taliban into a quick start to the intra-Afghan negotiations.Kabul has refused to release the last Taliban prisoner it is holding, saying it wants 22 Afghan commandos being held by the Taliban freed first.
