U.S. To Name TV Station A “Terrorist Organization”

HeadlineDec 16, 2004

CNN is reporting the State Department is planning to soon take the unusual step of designating a television station as a terrorist organization. The station, Al-Manar, is run by the Lebanese group Hezbollah. The station is currently available in this country on satellite TV. Once the State Department declares the station to be a terrorist organization, it will be knocked off the air. Earlier this week the French government also banned the station.
