Biden raids Afghans' money to fund US victims of terrorism

 President Biden has:

signed an executive order creating the possibility of splitting $7bn in frozen Afghan funds held in the US, potentially allotting half for humanitarian aid to the country while keeping the other half available for possible seizure by victims of the September 11 attacks.

Setting aside the legal and moral implications of taking control of money which was deposited by the Afghan Bank, there are questions about the destination of the "humanitarian aid" and how much of it will stick to the fingers of those whom the US administration chooses to deliver it. The US has a poor record of turning a blind eye to corruption in client states and in particular in Afghanistan. 

Moreover, why should starving Afghans be punished for the September 11 attacks? These were carried out by Saudis with citizens of the UAE, Egypt and Lebanon, and organised by the scion of a Saudi family. The former Taliban regime may have in its time given hospitality to Osama bin Laden, but for the last nine years he lived in Pakistan. It is unlikely that this was a total secret to the Pakistan secret service. Perhaps the President should rather take the compensation money from US aid to Pakistan and from Saudi bank accounts.
