Clinton Freezes Assets of Mideast Groups Linked to Terrorism

President Clinton yesterday froze any financial assets in the United States of a dozen Middle Eastern groups and 18 individuals in what the administration called a move to prevent terrorist groups or their American sympathizers from using the U.S. financial system.

Clinton, in an executive order transmitted to 500 U.S. banks and other financial institutions overnight Monday, ordered frozen any accounts held by groups and individuals long accused by the U.S. government of sponsoring terrorism, including Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Palestine Liberation Front, the Arab Revolutionary Council and the Jewish extremist groups Kach and Kahane Chai.

Most of the groups cited are unlikely to open easily traceable bank accounts, officials acknowledged. But they said the move was a step toward stopping transfer of funds to those groups outside the United States, and toward tracing any financial support for the banned groups from charitable and civic groups operating in the United States.

CLINTON SEEKS WAYS TO FIGHT TERRORISM

President Bill Clinton unveiled a number of proposals Wednesday to beef up federal investigations of terrorism in the wake of the bombing in Oklahoma City.

His 12-point package includes a request for 1,000 new federal law enforcement officials to investigate, deter and prosecute terrorism at an estimated cost of $1.2 billion over five years. His proposals would permit use of the armed services to fight crimes involving "weapons of mass destruction" and would expand

1. Clinton actually caught them and put them in jail for life, Ramsey U got
life in solitary confinement.. and there was actually a fair civilian public court that convicted him..

Bu$h knows he is such a F*ck up he couldn't win any sort of fair court, all but a handful of prisoners at GITMO were just kidnapped by people who wanted their land or their wives, or to just get even for something... and a free $5000.

a court of any kind couldn't convict 98% of them
