Banned terrorist organizations

The Canadian government has banned nearly 40 terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda, the Armed Islamic Group, Babbar Khalsa, the Palestine Liberation Front, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah,[1] Kahane Chai, the Taliban and Mujahedin e-Khalq.[2]

In 2006, Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day expanded the federal ban of Hezbollah from the purely militant wing to all 16 sub-organizations,[3] and declared the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam a terrorist group.[4]
