Release frozen funds: Taliban to US after quake kills 1,000 people

Taliban urged US on Saturday to unfreeze Afghanistan's foreign funds and lift financial sanctions on the country following earthquake that claimed at least 1,000 lives. The earthquake, which struck Paktika province on June 22, destroyed an estimated 10,000 homes. Notably, US President Joe Biden in February signed executive order to free $7 billion out of $9 billion frozen Afghan assets.
