U.S.: Syria Not Doing Its Part to Fight Terrorism
(AFP/Yahoo) Syria is not doing enough to fight terrorist financing and support for the anti-U.S. insurrection in Iraq, Stuart Levey, U.S. Treasury Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Crimes, said during a visit to Paris. "There remains a number of things that the Syrians are not doing that we very much expect them to do," he said. "We expect them to do much, much more to prevent the funding and support of the insurgency in Iraq. They should do what is required by the international law." Levey said that $262 million in commercial bank accounts of Syrians close to the regime of Saddam Hussein had recently been unfrozen and released to Iraqi authorities.
