Islamic Jihad condemns labeling Sheikh Shallah as terrorist

Islamic Jihad Movement lashed out at the U.S. administration for labeling the Islamic Jihad Secretary General Ramadan Shallah as “terrorist” and listing his name among “the wanted” on its blacklist of most wanted persons.

In a statement on Thursday, the Movement said that it was not the first time that Shallah was categorized as wanted for the US. It was done long years before, and was repeated almost annually.

Islamic Jihad Movement perceived the American position as biased to Israel and even complicit in oppressing national liberation movements.
