		Either an organisation may be found to be such an organisation by a court as part of the prosecution for a terrorist offence, or it may be specified in Regulations, known as ‘listing’.
		The listing of an organisation ceases to have effect two years after its commencement, or if the Minister ceases to be satisfied that the organisation is directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act, whichever occurs first.
		It is also an offence to be a member of any listed terrorist organisation and to intentionally associate with a person who is a member or who promotes or directs the activities of a listed terrorist organisation where that association provides support that would help the terrorist organisation to continue to exist or to expand.

		The EU heads decided that a “terrorist” act is one that is “intentionally committed by an individual or a group against one or more countries, their institutions or people with the aim of intimidating them and seriously altering or destroying the political, economic or social structures of those countries”.

	IFEX :: Lebanese satellite television station placed on list of terrorist organisations
		State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher said the decision to place Al-Manar on the United States (US) government's list of terrorist organisations was taken because of "[the station's] incitement of terrorist activity." Al-Manar is operated by the Lebanese Shiite organisation Hezbollah.
		RSF pointed out that the decision also meant that, in the event of a war, Al-Manar's journalists would be in danger of being considered belligerents and their bureaus of being viewed as military targets.
		"We fear that this measure could be just the first of many, and that all news media that have been accused of helping terrorist organisations through their coverage could end up on this list, in which case there would definitely be abuses," RSF added.

	ABC struggling for a defining statement in the war on terrrorism - Opinion - www.smh.com.au
		Downer followed up with another letter, this time to the ABC managing director, Russell Balding, in which he listed several terrorist attacks attributed to Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad: "This factual background demonstrates the absurdity and offensiveness of the ABC's directive not to describe these organisations as terrorist groups.
		The only terrorist list the UN maintains was brought about by UN resolution 1267, and is devoted solely to individuals and organisations believed by the UN to be connected to al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
		If Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad are not listed by the UN, it isn't because they aren't terrorist groups; it's because the UN doesn't see sufficient linkage between them and terrorism's Big Two.
