(Iran remains most active state sponsor, U.S. report says) (2980)

The seven designated state sponsors of terrorism did not take the
necessary steps in 2002 to disassociate themselves fully from their
ties to terrorism, according to the Department of State's annual
international terrorism report.

The "Patterns of Global Terrorism: 2002" report, released April 30,
identifies Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria, and Sudan as
state sponsors of terrorism.

"While some of these countries have taken steps to cooperate in the
global war on terrorism, most have also continued the very actions
that led them to be declared state sponsors," the report says.

The designation of state sponsors of terrorism is a mechanism for
isolating nations that use terrorism as a means of political
expression, according to the report. Countries on the list, which has
remained unchanged since Sudan was added in 1993, are subject to a
variety of U.S. trade, aid and financial sanctions.

"State sponsors of terrorism impede the efforts of the United States
and the international community to fight terrorism," the report says.
"Without state sponsors, terrorist groups would have a much more
difficult time obtaining the funds, weapons, materials, and secure
areas they require to plan and conduct operations."
