US declares Jabhat al-Nusra, a group in Syria with alleged al-Qaida links, as terrorist body- Fox News


The Obama administration is declaring a Syrian rebel group with alleged ties to al-Qaida as a terrorist organization. It's an effort to blunt the influence of extremists as the U.S. steps up cooperation with the Syrian opposition.
 
The State Department's action blocks Jabhat al-Nusra's assets in the U.S. and bars Americans from doing business with the group.
