Terrorist Attack on the United States
<http://www.academicinfo.net/usa911.html>

The latest addition to Mike Madin's Academic Info  is this useful pathfinder

of resources related to Afghanistan. As with the other sections of Academic
Info, resources are updated regularly, and most are annotated with brief,
helpful descriptions.
The site is divided into six sections: Indexes & Directories, Digital
Library, News & Media Sources, Taliban/ bin Laden/ Al-Quida, Women in
Afghanistan, and Organizations. In addition, Madin has added a new page of
resources to his American Studies section related to the September 11
attacks on United States targets.

Azadi Afghan Radio, a division of Global Infolinx Inc., is broadcast from
Washington, DC and San Francisco on Saturdays and Sundays respectively.
Users can listen to a Web broadcast at Washington, DC's WUST at the second
URL above or check out the other material online. Most of the news here is
from other Web sources, but the Interviews, Afghan Links, Literature/
Poetry, etc., while often containing older material, should be of interest
to anyone who wants to learn more about politics or culture in Afghanistan.

The CRS report, which is based on open sources, is entitled "Terrorism: Near Eastern Groups and State Sponsors, 2001." It was authored by CRS analyst Kenneth Katzman and is dated September 10. A copy is available here:

 Other CRS reports on related topics include "Terrorism and the Military's

Role in Domestic Crisis Management," dated April 19, 2001:

and "Terrorism: Automated Lookout Systems and Border Security Options and

Issues," dated June 18, 2001:

 In 1999, President Clinton found that by harboring Usama bin Laden, the

Taliban of Afghanistan constituted an unusual and extraordinary threat to

the United States. He declared a national emergency in response. See

Executive Order 13129:

http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/eo/eo-13129.htm

 The resulting sanctions against Afghanistan and the Taliban that are now in

place are described by the U.S. Department of the Treasury here:

 A summary of existing terrorism sanctions generally is provided here:
