"Mr President, the writing on Commander Massoud’s tombstone reads: “Here lies a man who was like an angel: let him guide you. His name is Massoud”. We must follow him and defend those who are fighting terrorism, trying to restore their people’s freedom, democracy and human rights. Yet we did not help Commander Massoud when he came to Strasbourg in April to condemn the crimes of the Taliban. Let us at least help the Afghan people and the civilised world to overcome terrorists and fundamentalists.
However, our statements of condemnation must be followed by practical action: words alone are not enough. Therefore, we wonder why it is that the terrorists’ bank accounts are only being frozen now, if the governments and intelligence were already aware of these accounts before. Why have the Internet sites which continue to promote terrorist initiatives and maintain links with subversive cells throughout the world, recruiting new terrorists all the while, not yet been condemned and closed?
We call for the Community funding and financing programmes aiding those governments which are not joining the alliance to combat terrorism and, in any case, continue to harbour terrorists on their territory, to be frozen immediately."@en1
