| The United Kingdom will ban Harkat-ul-Jihad, an Islamist outfit of Bangladesh, said an announcement of the UK Home Office on Monday. Quoting a statement of the British home secretary, Charles Clarke, the Guardian reported on Tuesday that Harkat, along with 14 international organisations, would be banned in Britain under its Terrorism Act 2000. The act has clauses that a member of a proscribed organisation in Britain is punishable with a 10-year jail term. |
