In a report to Congress on Friday, September 7th, 2012, Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton formally designated the militant Haqqani network, an organization responsible for several attacks against American military in Afghanistan, as a terrorist organization, two days before a Congressional deadline. According to the New York Times, "Several State Department and military officials had argued that designating the organization would help strangle the group’s fund-raising activities in countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and pressure Pakistan to open a long-expected military offensive against the militants. Many other senior officials, including several in the White House, expressed deep reservations that blacklisting the group could further damage badly frayed relations with Pakistan, undercut peace talks with the Taliban and possibly jeopardize the fate of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only American soldier known to be held by the militants."
