U.S. to Designate Chapters of Muslim Brotherhood as "Foreign Terrorist Organizations"
(Washington Post) Alec Dent - President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday that begins the process of designating certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood "as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists." The White House said the designation will help combat the group's transnational network, which fuels terrorism and destabilization campaigns against U.S. interests and allies in the Middle East. The designation will allow the U.S. to target the groups' finances, collect military intelligence on them, and prosecute individuals deemed to have provided "material support" to Muslim Brotherhood chapters with the terrorist designation. Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan are among those to be considered for designation.
