US-born Radical Muslim Cleric Added to American Terrorism Blacklist

THE TELEGRAPH: The US has added the American-born radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki to a terrorism blacklist, targeting him with sanctions aimed at cutting off his financial support.

The US Treasury Department placed al-Awlaki – accused by officials of helping plan the failed Christmas Day airline bombing – on its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists.

That means any bank accounts found in the United States belonging to him are frozen, Americans are forbidden from doing business with him, and he is banned from travelling to the US. >>> | Saturday, July 17, 2010
