Assets Frozen - The US Highlights 'Funding'


Five men, three companies and a charity - all UK-based - have had their assets frozen over alleged links to al-Qaeda.
They have been accused of contributing to the finances of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG).
The US Treasury, which sought the assets move from the UK, calls the LIFG an "al-Qaeda affiliate" known for engaging in terrorist activity.
Three of the men are from Birmingham, one is from another part of the Midlands and one is from Manchester.
News of the freezing emerged via the US Treasury as it announced it was moving to financially incapacitate the groups and individuals.

Let's hope that the recent Hamza jailing and other Islamic events recently have now been a kick up the butt for both the Police and the CPS. The 'Hot Potatoe' row yesterday between the CPS and the Police really sums the state of Law and Order in the UK.
