U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell's list concern groups that the government labels foreign terrorist organizations, or FTOs, along with funders, supporters and business entities that aid them. The State Department list of FTOs, created by the 1996 Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act and first issued in 1997, currently includes twenty-eight groups. Since September 11, 2001, other lists have proliferated. By executive order, on September 23, U.S. President George W. Bush-in a declaration of "national emergency"-created another list, maintained by the Treasury Department, which now contains 153 "groups, entities and individuals" whose assets are subject to seizure.
