Washington, May 6, SPA -- President George W. Bush has extended U.S. economic sanctions against Syria for one year, saying its government still posed a threat to national security, foreign policy and the economy. Bush imposed the sanctions May 11, 2004, using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Under them, assets of a number of Syrians were frozen in the United States, banking relations with the Commercial Bank of Syria were suspended, and Syrian flights to and from the United States were suspended, according to a report of CNN.--SPA1408 Local Time 1108 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/260324
