The United Nations has added two groups suspected of having connections to the terrorist movement Al-Qaeda to the list of organizations that should be sanctioned due to their role in terrorist activities. In the UN statement, the Islamic Haramain Foundation is mentioned as one of the groups. This foundation is located in the city of Travnik in central Bosnia and Herzegovina. The UN statement also specifies that the company Hohberg in Luxembourg is considered another name for the commercial and independent company with piety. The United States reminded last week that the UN had designated this company as a terrorist group in 2002. This list requires all UN member states to freeze the assets of the groups or individuals listed and prevent such individuals from entering their countries.
