Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:
A senior Taliban leader as of late 2014, Torek Agha (Torek) has served on the Taliban's ‘Quetta shura’, a regional body that directs Taliban activities in southern and western Afghanistan, and played a role in raising funds from Gulf-based donors.
As of late 2014, Torek was a member of a group responsible for the Taliban leadership's strategic planning and logistics operations and also operated as a key commander and member of the Taliban's military council, and authorized and facilitated Taliban military operations. The Taliban military council is one of three command level councils and is responsible for overseeing Taliban operations and approving appointments of Taliban military leadership.
Over the years, Torek was involved in authorizing the assassination of numerous Afghan Government officials and tribal elders. Additionally, as early as 2012, he was one of four senior Taliban commanders who authorized the use of an unidentified chemical powder to assassinate senior Afghan Government officials.
After being instructed in mid-2011 by a Taliban senior leader to travel to Saudi Arabia during Ramadan to arrange external funding, in 2012 Torek and several other Taliban ‘Quetta shura’ members selected mullahs to travel to Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries to collect financial donations on the Taliban's behalf from both Afghan businessmen and smugglers. As of early 2012, Torek received a donation from an unidentified Arab donor with instructions to pass the money to the Taliban's provincial shadow governor of Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, for assassination operations.
Torek collected approximately USD 4 million from Gulf-based donors for the Taliban in 2010, the majority of which he provided to fellow senior leader and Taliban finance collector Gul Agha Ishakzai (Gul Agha). The amounts and sources of Torek's multiple 2010 Taliban fundraising transfers to Gul Agha were as follows: USD 1 million from associates in Saudi Arabia; USD 2 million from donors in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Saudi Arabia; and USD 600 000 from various Arab donors obtained on a fundraising trip to Qatar.
As of late 2009, Torek held USD 2 million from unidentified Qatar and Saudi Arabia donors intended for the Taliban's ‘Quetta shura’ treasurer. The substantial donations Torek collected for the Taliban ‘Quetta shura’ during Ramadan were held in unidentified Pakistani banks and were under the control of the Taliban's head treasurer.
In mid-2006, Torek assigned Taliban fighters to various operational Taliban commanders. He was one of the main links between the Taliban leadership and groups of Arab fighters arriving in Pakistan and Afghanistan to fight the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).

Also in 2011, a Taliban member received tens of thousands of dollars from RMX to support military operations. An RMX branch in the Afghanistan- Pakistan border region also held tens of thousands of dollars to be collected by a Taliban commander. In 2010, on behalf of the Taliban shadow governor of Helmand Province, a Taliban member used RMX to send thousands of dollars to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. The RMX branch in Lashkar Gah, Helmand Province, has been used by the Taliban to transfer funds for local operations.

Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:
The Haqqani Network has its roots in the Afghan conflict of the late 1970s. In the mid-1980s, Jalaluddin Haqqani, the founder of the Haqqani Network, forged a relationship with the leader of Al-Qaida, Usama bin Laden (deceased). Jalaluddin joined the Taliban movement in 1995, but maintained his own power base along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. After the fall of the Taliban in 2001, Jalaluddin's son, Sirajuddin Haqqani took control of the network and has since then led the group into the forefront of insurgent activities in Afghanistan.
The Haqqani Network has been responsible for many of the highest-profile attacks in Afghanistan. In January 2008, Haqqani Network operatives stormed the Serena Hotel in Kabul, killing eight people. In January 2010, the Haqqani Network was behind a coordinated attack on key government buildings in Kabul, which killed five people and wounded 70. In June 2011, the network was responsible for the attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul, which killed 11 Afghan civilians and two Afghan policemen. The Haqqani Network was also responsible for the September 2011 attack against the United States Embassy and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Headquarters in Kabul. Sixteen Afghans were killed in the 19-hour attack, including at least six children. The group was also behind the 15 April 2012 coordinated attacks in Kabul and three other Afghan cities, which lasted 18 hours and left at least 11 Afghan security personnel and four civilians dead.
The Haqqani Network has also been involved in a number of kidnappings, and has cooperated with the Taliban and other militant organizations in Afghanistan.

Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:
Rahat Ltd. is a hawala network owned by Mohammed Qasim Mir Wali Khudai Rahim, comprising branches across Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, that participates in the financing and facilitation of the Taliban insurgency.
In 2011 and 2012, Taliban senior figures regularly used the different branches of Rahat Ltd. to store and transfer funds originating from external donors and narcotics trafficking.
This specifically includes facilitation of substantial funds on behalf of a Taliban Shadow Provincial Governor laundered through Rahat Ltd. In 2011 and 2012, on several occasions, Taliban senior figures oversaw transfers and transactions through Rahat Ltd. of hundreds of thousands of United States dollars in funding from the Gulf region and Iran which were intended to finance insurgent activities of the Taliban.
Taliban senior figures have personally interacted with Rahat Ltd. branch managers, frequented Rahat Ltd. branches and used Rahat Ltd. to receive, store and send funds to support insurgent operations inside Afghanistan. Recently, the Taliban Shadow Provincial Governor for Helmand Province, Afghanistan, Mohammad Naim Barich, also known as Mullah Naim Barich, provided funds through Rahat Ltd. for subordinate commanders to plan and conduct insurgent operations in southern Afghanistan. These operations directly threaten the peace, stability and security of Afghanistan.
Rahat Ltd. provides financial services to Taliban-affiliated narcotics networks in the Afghanistan/Pakistan border region through its branch managers' direct involvement in narcotics trafficking and their close association with senior figures within these narcotics networks.
