Members of the group September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows have asked the President to release the disputed Afghan funds currently being held and use them to help Afghan famine victims, report Daniel Boguslaw and Austin Ahlman for The Intercept.
“There is not only a moral imperative in doing this, there is also a national security interest in doing this and preventing Afghanistan from sliding into total collapse,” said Terry Rockefeller, a member of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows whose sister Laura was murdered at the World Trade Center during the terrorist attacks 9/11.
