Banks ordered to freeze assets of al Qaeda linked group
The Bush administration expanded its financial war on terrorism by freezing assets of a Pakistan based group and nine individuals tied to al Qaida. The block targets The Aid Organization of the Ulema, Rashid Trust successors, and figures linked to Bank Al Taqwa and the Milan al Qaida cell, with the Treasury citing support for bombings and killings. The action aims to sever funding for Osama bin Laden’s network, with authorities noting the unknown US asset impact and ongoing global asset freezes exceeding $104 million since Sept 11.

Farm bill costs rise as crop prices stay low
Congress faces a larger price tag for the farm bill as the CBO estimates subsidies will exceed the prior projection by about 9.6 billion over ten years due to weaker than expected crop prices. Cotton and corn subsidies exceed previous forecasts, intensifying pressure to finish negotiations between House and Senate.
