As the same time, Pakistan with
drew its diplomats from
Afghanistan’s capital Kabul, leav
ing that nation's Taliban leaders —
and bin Laden's protectors — in
creasingly isolated.
In New York City, authorities an
nounced a new, heartbreaking
form of assistance for relatives of
the more than 6,400 people still
lost and presumed dead in the ru
ins of the World Trade Center.
Family members soon can apply
for death certificates — even if the
remains of their loved ones have
not been found and identified.

The president's “Executive Or
der on Terrorist Financing” pro
hibits all U.S. citizens and busi
nesses from contributing to or
engaging in financial transactions
with bin Laden and others on the
list. It also freezes any assets
hoarded in the United States by
those on the list.
Bush described the action as the
first real shot of his broad, uncon
ventional counter-offensive against
those who attacked America two
weeks ago or have triggered other
terrorist actions.
“A major thrust of our war on
terrorism began with the stroke of
a pen," he said. “Today, we have
launched a strike on the financial
foundation of the global terror net
work."
The executive order lists about a
dozen terrorist leaders, including
Ayman al-Zawahri, bin Laden's
chief deputy, and about a dozen or
ganizations, including al-Qaida,
bin Laden's main network.
Also on the list: the Wafa Hu
manitarian Organization and the
Al Rashid Trust. Both describe
themselves as charitable groups
that provide food or medical care
to the poor, but the administration
called them terrorist fronts.
In more visible financial circles,
the stock market staged a vigorous
rally after last week's dramatic sell
offs motivated a key Wall Street
analyst to flash a buy signal.
The Dow Jones Industrial Aver
age closed at 8,603.44, up 367.63
points. The NASDAQ ended the
day at 1,499.13, up 75.94 points.
In the Middle East, bin Laden is
sued a statement broadcast by
Qatar's Al-Jazeera satellite televi
sion channel, a frequent outlet for
his remarks.
He urged supporters around the
world, and particularly in Pak
istan, to fight what he framed as
“the American crusade” against Is
lam. U.S. officials have been care
ful to focus their fury solely on bin
Laden and other terrorists, and to
make clear that they harbor no ill
will toward Muslims.
“A majorthrustofourwar
on terrorism began with the
stroke of a pen. Today, we
have launched a strike on
the financial foundation of
the global terror network. ”
George Bush
President
Bin Laden also went out of his
way to praise Mullah Mohammed
Omar, the Taliban leader of
Afghanistan and bin Laden's
strongest shield against the West.
“I announce to you, our beloved
brothers, that we are steadfast on
the path of Jihad (holy war) with
the heroic, faithful Afghan people,
under the leadership of Mullah
Mohammed Omar,” said the state
ment from bin Laden, who has op
erated under Taliban protection
since 1996.
In other developments:
• U.S. troops and equipment
kept streaming toward the Persian
Gulf area, and the Air Force an
nounced that it was activating a
special rule that allows it to sus
pend, for at least 30 days, all
scheduled retirements and separa
tions from active service.
• New York Mayor Rudy Giu
liani acknowledged that virtually
no hope remains of finding sur
vivors in the trade center's rubble.
‘‘I believe it is certainly time to
say chances of finding anyone alive
would involve a miracle,” Giuliani
said. The toll at the World Trade
Center stands at 276 bodies recov
ered and 6,453 people missing.
• In another move to shore up
Pakistan, the administration said it
would ask Congress to lift sanc
tions imposed in 1999 after that
nation’s military overthrew a dem
ocratically elected government,
d hat would allow Washington to
provide economic and military as
sistance to the government of Pres
ident Pervez Musharraf.
• The Senate approved a long
delayed free trade pact with Jor
dan, a demonstration of support
for a key Middle East ally. The
House approved the measure near
ly two months ago.
• Russian President Vladimir
Putin said his nation would ship
weapons and military equipment
to Afghan rebels. He did not offer
to contribute troops to the U.S.
anti-terrorist offensive, but he sug
gested that former Soviet republics
in Central Asia might allow their
airfields to be used.
• As a condition to joining a
U.S.-led coalition, Egyptian Presi
dent Hosni Mubarak is demanding
not only persuasive evidence
about bin Laden or other suspects
but also advance notice about po
tential targets, according to a West
ern diplomatic source.
