then allocate the funds.

In late 2011, Ahmed Shah consolidated hundreds of thousands of US dollars to pass to the Taliban Finance
Commission and transferred hundreds of thousands of US dollars for the Taliban, including to senior Taliban
commanders. Also in late 2011, Ahmed Shah received through his hawala branch in Quetta, Pakistan, a transfer
on behalf of the Taliban, money from which was used to purchase fertilizer and IED components, including batteries
and detonator cord. In mid-2011, Taliban finance commission head Gul Agha Ishakzai instructed Ahmed Shah to
deposit several million US dollars into Roshan Money Exchange for the Taliban. Gul Agha explained that when a
money transfer was required, he would inform Ahmed Shah of the Taliban recipient. Ahmed Shah would then provide
the required funds through his hawala system. As of mid-2010, Ahmed Shah moved money between Pakistan and
Afghanistan for Taliban commanders and for narcotics traffickers. In addition to his facilitation activities, Ahmed Shah
also donated large but unspecified sums of money to the Taliban in 2011.
