EU Demands Palestinians Stop Terrorists
The European Union demanded Thursday that the Palestinian Authority take ``all necessary concrete measures’’ against those responsible for this week’s suicide attacks against Israelis. The EU demand came as the 15-nation bloc moved to expand sanctions against the Islamic militant group Hamas. ``The European Union wishes to reaffirm its strongest condemnation of these two terrorist attacks as well as the organizations that planned and executed them,’’ the EU presidency said in a statement on behalf of the bloc’s 15 member nations.
That’ll show em.
Have they ever done it before?
EU foreign ministers agreed Saturday to add political offshoots of Hamas to its terrorist blacklist following last month’s deadly bus bombing in Jerusalem. Currently, the EU blacklists only Hamas’ military wing. EU ambassadors agreed Thursday on which groups would be included on that blacklist, official said. The names will not be released until they are published in the EU’s official journal, probably on Saturday. An EU official said on condition of anonymity that the list ``will be in line with the request made by foreign ministers ... on the inclusion of Hamas.’’ He refused to say whether charities or social groups linked to Hamas were included.
We’ll be waiting to see.
