Europeaser Terrorism Watch

This just in:

The Bush administration on Friday froze the assets of five European-based organizations it says raise money for the radical Palestinian group Hamas

The Treasury Dept.'s press release with the names of the organizations is here. The list includes organizations based in France, Switzerland, Britain, Austria and Lebanon. I guess the French and the Austrians, in particular, are still reluctant to confront Jew-killers in their midst.

We also learn from the press release that the White House has named the following individuals as "Specially Designated Global Terrorists":

1. Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the leader of Hamas in Gaza.
2. Imad Khalil Al-Alami, a member of the Hamas Political Bureau in Damascus, Syria.
3. Usama Hamdan, a senior Hamas leader in Lebanon.
4. Khalid Mishaal, head of the Hamas Political Bureau and Executive Committee in Damascus, Syria.
5. Musa Abu Marzouk, Deputy Chief of the Political Bureau in Syria.
6. Abdel Aziz Rantisi, a Hamas leader in Gaza reporting to Sheik Yassin.

What took so long?
