While the world is constantly told to fear Usama bin Laden and al-Qaida and while hundreds of possible
“suspects” are being arrested every day, the members of the U.N. Security Council think it is no longer necessary to place “sanctions” on the al-Qaida network, itself.
Sanctions against the Afghani Taliban and bin Laden have also been dropped.
They had been in place since the 1999 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, for which all three were indicted but never brought to trial.
The victims have also not yet been compensated.

Also exempted are funds "exclusively for payment of reasonable professional fees and reimbursement of incurred expenses associated with the provision of legal services,
or fees or service charges for routine holding or maintenance" of the frozen resources, as well as funds "necessary for extraordinary expenses."
Countries must notify the Security Council committee monitoring the sanctions of any plans to exempt funds. Access can then be authorized
"in the absence of a negative decision by the committee within 48 hours of such notification."
Nevertheless, sanctions remain in place against Iraq and the United States prepares for war for "Peace".
