WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury on Wednesday branded the Kurdish group PJAK, whose guerrillas fight against government forces in Iran's Kurdish-populated areas, as a terrorist organization.
The group is a front for the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which has been fighting the Turkish government for 25 years, said Stuart Levey, U.S. Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence."
