Why does President Bush renew sanctions on the Taleban forces? [originaltext]

President Bush is renewing sanctions on the Tale. ban forces that control most of Afghanistan. Meanwhile, administration officials say they are trying to convince other countries to put pressure on the Taleban to turn over suspected terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. The sanctions were originally imposed by former President Clinton in 1999 and renewed a year later. President Bush says they are still needed today.
     In a written statement, Mr. Bush says the Taleban continues to provide safe haven and a base of operations for Osama bin Laden. He goes on to say the bin Laden operation has committed, and threatens to commit, acts of violence against Americans.
