Treasury criticized for delayed freezing of assets
U N and the European Union urged asset freezes on five bin Laden lieutenants before Sept. 11, but the U S did not act until Friday. Lawmakers pressed Treasury officials why they did not follow allies, citing a lack of information sharing. Thirty-nine new names were added to the list, including bin Laden relatives and coordinators. President Bush had frozen 27 groups last month.
