WASHINGTON -- AP
On the 100th day after terrorists attacked America, President Bush took actionThursday to cut off financing to two more groups linked to terrorism, including one that has attacked targets in India.

The president was announcing in an afternoon Rose Garden ceremony that his administration is working with U.S. allies to freeze the financial assets of Umnah Tameer E-nau, a Pakistani group suspected of financing Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, said a senior administration official.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the United States also sought to freeze the assets of Lashkar E-Tayyiba, a trained terrorist group that has struck against India.

Neither group is believed to have assets in the United States, officials said.

$33 million in 100 days. Why does this sound like a drop in the terrorist bucket?
