The U.S. added the Pakistani Taliban to a list of terrorist organizations and offered rewards for the whereabouts of its leaders, responding to pressure from lawmakers to take action after the group claimed responsibility for the failed Times Square bombing in New York.
The formal designation bans suspected Pakistani Taliban members from entering the U.S., makes it illegal for U.S. citizens to provide “material support or resources” to the group, and allows American authorities to seize assets tied to the organization.
