EU Agrees to Freeze All Hamas Assets

The European Union will declare all wings of the Palestinian group Hamas terrorist organizations and freeze their assets, EU foreign ministers said.
The EU previously had blacklisted only the group’s military arm, Izzidin al-Qassam. But -- taking a cue from the U.S. -- it now will block funding to Hamas political offshoots, charities and social welfare groups, after a suicide bomber last month killed 21 people. Hamas claimed responsibility for the bus blast.
