WASHINGTON –– The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are postponing their annual meetings later this month because of security concerns following the terrorist attacks against the United States, officials said Friday.
A formal announcement was expected Monday, said officials familiar with the discussions at the two institutions.
The meetings were set for Sept. 29-30. It is not certain when or if they will be rescheduled, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Hardly a surprise considering that they won't have the police enough to really do justice to smashing our rights to pieces. |
