Britain Seeks to Freeze More Assets

LONDON (AP) - Britain on Friday issued a third list of alleged terrorist organizations whose assets it wants frozen.

The Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo, Peru's Maoist Shining Path and the Irish Republican Army (news - web sites) dissidents known as the Real IRA are among the 25 organizations listed.

Unlike the previous lists, the new one is not limited to groups with alleged links to the main suspect in the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Osama bin Laden (news - web sites).

``Those named today have committed or pose a real risk of committing or funding acts of terrorism,'' Treasury Chief Gordon Brown said in a statement.

``They will find no safe haven for their assets in the U.K. I expect all financial institutions to check their records and freeze the assets of those named, wherever found.''

Since Sept. 11, the Treasury has frozen the equivalent of $92 million in 36 accounts.
