WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Coalition Against Terrorist Media, an organization of Christian, Muslim, Jewish and secular groups, has come together to urge action against terrorist owned and operated media outlets.

The coalition, which was organized by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, is particularly focused on Hezbollah's al-Manar television station. It has been working informally for more than three months briefing government officials and educating the American people about the threat that al-Manar poses.

The coalition's early efforts have already yielded significant results. On Dec. 17, 2004, the U.S. State Department added al-Manar to the Terrorist Exclusion List. Following al-Manar's designation as a terrorist organization, satellite providers stopped distributing it to the United States.
