Bush Signs Measure Imposing Sanctions on Syria
(Los Angeles Times) - President Bush signed legislation Friday calling for economic penalties against Syria for not doing enough to fight terrorism. The legislation says Syria has provided a haven for anti-Israel groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad and has pursued biological and chemical weapons. Syria must end its support of terrorists, terminate its 27-year military presence in Lebanon, stop efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles, and stop terrorists from entering Iraq.
