The U.S. government intends to classify the Islamic militant group suspected of the October 12 bombing at a nightclub on Bali Island in Indonesia as a terrorist organization. It is expected that the U.S. State Department will address this change in its report on global terrorism to be released today. The Islamic group has operational cells in Southeast Asia and is suspected of having connections with the al-Qaeda network. American citizens are prohibited from providing funds to terrorist organizations and members of organizations that are banned from entering the U.S. This decision comes just days before the upcoming meeting between President Bush and Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri, which is set to take place in Mexico.
