...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,..., Bloomberg reports, citing several unnamed officials at Israel’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing, as well as an unnamed senior US official.

Washington is determined to put an end to the phenomenon, the US news site cites the American official as saying.
