They seem to have overlooked the UVF and the IRA (probably Europe's largest international terrorist organisation). Both these organisations are in breach of the regulations just laid down by the Council of the European Union.

"For the purposes of this Common Position, "terrorist act" shall mean one of the following intentional acts, which, given its nature or its context, may seriously damage a country or an international organisation, as defined as an offence under national law, where committed with the aim of:
(i) seriously intimidating a population, or
(ii) unduly compelling a Government or an international organisation to perform or abstain from performing any act, or
(iii) seriously destabilising or destroying the fundamental political, constitutional, economic or social structures of a country or an international organisation:(a) attacks upon a person's life which may cause death;(b) attacks upon the physical integrity of a person

Norm, regarding just the "IRA" - just those initials - there are lots and lots and lots of "IRA" organizations. You just saw in the lists in the article preceeding this thread that one of them had its finances frozen.

It is my impression that the focus of this article are the Unionist organizations that have been cut off. No doubt a number of other IRA groups have been affected earlier. You can go to the Treasury Department website to take a look.

So, what is your question?

And we won't stop until all of your Brit gangster friends are on a boat back to England and the Northern six counties are reuninted with the Republic. Since you and the rest of you anti-Irish Yanks don't live in Ireland you should crawl back into your bigoted holes and keep your slanderous remarks to your pitiful selves.
