when you hear the name switzerland ... what comes to mind ...
neutrality ... the red cross ... cool army knives ... chocolates ... fancy watches ... cheese with lots of holes in it ... the alps ... banks ...
but you probably won't think ... 'financier of terrorism' ...
A major US Jewish organization on Tuesday stepped up opposition to a multibillion-dollar Swiss-Iranian natural gas deal by claiming it makes Switzerland ''the world's newest financier of terrorism.''
''When you finance a terrorist state, you finance terrorism,'' said the New York-based Anti-Defamation League in full-page advertisements in major Swiss newspapers and in similar ads in The New York Times, The International Herald Tribune and The Wall Street Journal.
The US government and the World Jewish Congress have criticized Switzerland for the deal, saying it gives encouragement to Tehran's hard-liners.
