Washington -- The U.S. State Department identifies 42 Foreign Terrorist Organizations in its 2007 Country Reports on Terrorism, released April 30.

Designation of a group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization results in the U.S. government blocking assets held in U.S. financial institutions, denying visas to terrorist group members and making it a crime for U.S. citizens or others within U.S. jurisdiction to provide the group with support or resources.
