On March 6, the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
designated the Harkat-ul Jihad al-Islami Bangladesh
(HuJIB) a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). The
official implications of such designation are very

subject to US jurisdiction to provide material support
to that organization. US financial institutions have
to freeze any assets the organization holds, and the
United States can deny visas to its representatives.
The designation moreover carries a message greater

US State Department has been keeping track of the
organization and is convinced that it constitutes a
threat beyond its country of origin....
