UNITED NATIONS: Several American banks are closing the accounts of U.N. diplomatic missions in an apparent response to more rigorous U.S. federal reporting rules, U.N. and American officials confirm.
A Jan. 7 diplomatic note from the U.S. Mission to the United Nations says ambassadors and mission chiefs will be briefed at U.N. headquarters Thursday about "recent developments concerning the bank accounts of diplomatic missions." An announcement of the briefing also appears in the Journal of the United Nations.
