| US and UN Declare Harakat-ul Jihad Islami (HUJI) Bad Guys |
| 2010-08-22 |
| Do we have a quote policy for VoA? Same as for the AP ... The United States and the United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society have designated Pakistain's Harakat-ul Jihad Islami, or HUJI, as a foreign terrorist organization. Moreover, HUJI leader Mohammad Ilyas Kashmiri was named a "specially designated global terrorist." These actions require all U.N. member states to implement an asset freeze, travel ban, and arms embargo against this group and individual. If I recall correctly we had this story at least a week ago. VOA is just now picking it up? According to Ambassador Daniel Benjamin, U.S. State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism, "the linkages between HUJI and al-Qaida are clear, and [these] designations convey the operational relationship between these organizations." |
