| EU may expand list of terror groups |
| 2002-06-11 |
| The European Union, under pressure from the US, is considering expanding its list of terror organizations to include Hizbullah, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), diplomatic sources in Jerusalem said yesterday. According to these officials, the signals Jerusalem has received over the last few days from various European capitals is that the EU's inclination is to declare these groups terror organizations meaning their assets could be frozen in Europe and making the transfer of money to these groups illegal. Hezbollah you could maybe kinda sorta make an argument is a guerrilla movement rather than a terrorist organization per se, though I wouldn't agree with the argument, having a memory that goes all the way back to Beirut and the Marine barracks. If the other two aren't terrorist organizations then there ain't no sech animal. |
