US Seizes Websites Operated by Sanctioned Terrorist Group

The Justice Department seized two websites being illegally used by a U.S.-sanctioned foreign terrorist group, it said Oct. 21. The Iran-backed Kata’ib Hizballah operated the websites, Aletejahtv.com and kataibhezbollah.com, as a “media arm,” Justice said. The group used the websites to publish videos, articles and photos to further its agenda, which includes “destabilizing Iraq and recruiting others to join their cause.”
