Britain freezes terror group assets

British Chancellor Gordon Brown today ordered financial institutions to freeze any funds held on behalf of the terror group which kidnapped and murdered Ken Bigley in Iraq.

Mr Brown told the Bank of England, acting as agents for the Treasury, to instruct all financial institutions to put a hold on “any funds which they hold for or on behalf of the group Jama’at al-Tawhid Wa’al-Jihad (JTJ)”.
