The United States has frozen the funds of jailed Jemaah Islamiah leader Abu Bakar Bashir and three other members of the Al Qaeda-linked militant network. The Treasury Department, acting on a presidential order, has officially froze the assets of the four Indonesian men and prohibited Americans from conducting any transactions with them. A Treasury statement says the Government will also join other countries, including Australia, in seeking to have the men's names added to a United Nations list of terrorists tied to Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.
