EU court overturns Tamil Tiger sanctions
 [ARABNEWS] European Union...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... judges struck down anti-terrorism sanctions against the Tamil Tigers that were imposed by the EU but said on Thursday that the assets of the Sri Lankan group should remain frozen for the time being. The court said a decision by EU leaders in 2006 to place the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on a list of terrorist organizations had been based on "imputations derived from the press and the Internet" rather than on direct investigation of the group's actions, as required by law.
