U.S. Labels Russian White Supremacist Group a Terrorist Organization
--------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first time ever, the U.S. has labeled a white supremacist group
a terrorist organization. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced
Monday the Russian Imperial Movement would be designated a "foreign
terrorist organization," and imposed sanctions on its members. The group
is said to support neo-Nazi groups in Russia and in parts of Europe and
provide paramilitary training to white supremacists.
