Men lose battle to be taken off UN terror list

TWO men targeted by the Irish and British Governments under international anti-terrorist measures yesterday lost their European legal battle to be removed from a list of suspects.

Chafiq Ayadi, a Tunisian national living in Dublin, and Faraj Hassan, a Libyan currently in Brixton Prison, London, appear on a constantly-updated United Nations list of individuals considered to be associated with terrorist groups.

All those on the list have their assets and all other financial resources frozen.
