NatWest closes Interpal account

Thanks to Harry's Place for this:

Last July the BBC's Panorama investigated the links between Interpal-- the charity for which George Galloway made a fool of himself on Big Brother-- and the Islamist terrorist movement Hamas.

In 2003 the US Treasury Department designated Interpal as a "terrorist entity" for its connections to Hamas, freezing its assets in the United States and prohibiting transactions with US nationals.

Now the Friends of Al-Aqsa website reports that NatWest Bank is closing Interpal's account in the UK.

The UK Charity Commission-- which in the past has given Interpal a clean bill of health-- has begun another investigation.
