Instead of getting shorter, the list of islamist terrorist groups is
getting longer. Of course, part of that is due to decentralization. We
need to start getting at the source of this since attrition is the name
of the game for muslims.

U.S. DESIGNATES TAWID A TERROR GROUP
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- After more than a year of suicide bombings in Iraq,
the Al Qaida-aligned Tawhid and Jihad has been deemed a terrorist group
by the United States.
The Tawhid and Jihad group has been led by Abu Mussib Al Zarqawi,
regarded as the most lethal insurgent in Iraq. The group has claimed
responsibility for scores of car bombings that have killed more than
1,000 Iraqis in 2003 and 2004.
On Oct. 14, the State Department designated both Tawhid and Jihad as
well as Al Zarqawi as foreign terrorists. The United States has asked
the United Nations to add the group to its list of terrorists aligned
with Al Qaida and subject to international sanctions.
Officials said the U.S. designation would freeze assets of Tawhid as
well as Al Zarqawi. If the U.S. designation is approved by the UN,
neither Al Zarqawi nor his group would be able to receive funds or
resources from member states or their nationals. |
